Should you get a 404 "Not Found" error when you point your browser to the location of phpMyAdmin (such as: http://localhost/phpmyadmin) this is likely caused by not checking the 'Apache 2' selection during installation. To redo the installation run the following:

Code:

 sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin

Then select Apache 2 for the webserver you wish to configure.

If this does not work, then you can do the following to include the phpMyadmin-shipped Apache configuration into Apache:

Code:

sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Just wanted to thank you for the help. After numerous purges and reinstalls with the same results your fix worked. The first code gave no change, but the second code gave me the results I needed. Again, Thanks to Smoker for the help.

Thank you very much worked 1st time.

lixzzy · 07-21-2011, 11:45 AM

thanks for the help. worked great.

I have to say that what I have to do first was to edit the file /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.config

in the bottom part of the doc there is this:

# Authorize for setup
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup>
<IfModule mod_authn_file.c>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "phpMyAdmin Setup"
AuthUserFile /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup
</IfModule>
Require valid-user
</Directory>

# Disallow web access to directories that don't need it
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries>
Order Deny,Allow
Require valid-user--------------------here there was as Deny from All---------------
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup/lib>
Order Deny,Allow
Require valid-user--------------------same as above--------------------------------
</Directory>

with this change when I access the localhost/phpmyadmin it prompts a username password field that was setup at the phpadmin install process.

thanks again!!!

I am getting the same error. But I am using CentOS

I installed with yum command.
yum install phpmyadmin

The above solutions are not working for me

Because you don't need to install it with yum.

Create a directory on your server, like /var/www/html/phpmyadmin
and download and unpack phpMyAdmin, let's say v2.11.11.3 (d/l with wget ....)

then all you need to do is create an alias in Apache /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
for phpmyadmin under some virtual host or other nameserver directive:

Code:

Alias /phpmyadmin "/var/www/html/phpmyadmin/"

<Directory /var/www/html/phpmyadmin>
Options FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
php_flag track_vars On
php_flag register_globals Off
php_value include_path .
</IfModule>

</Directory>

then restart apache/httpd and try :

Code:

http://www.yourdomain.net/phpmyadmin

you should see something.

I don't know what changes would be needed,
but here it states that

Quote:

suPHP does not support the php_value/php_admin_value directive known by mod_php to parse configuration options

Try it, you can't lose anything.

I can see this error.
It seems SELinux is doing something. Not sure.
