Phpmyadmin not found

[Brian_A]

I've installed ISPConfig 3 according to the excellent "The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 9.04 [ISPConfig 3]" by falko. Most things are working very well, so thank you for your good work.

The problem I cannot seem to solve is I have no access to phpmyadmin, error 404 not found on server:- for
http://mydomain.com/phpmyadmin or
http://ipaddress/phpmyadmin or
http://ipaddress:8080/phpmyadmin.

I guess I'm missing something either in the server setup or in ISPConfig setup, but I cannot see what. Could someone point me in the right direction please?

It might happen that you are not able to access phpmyadmin like this anymore if you assigned the IP of the server to a specific website. In this case I recommend that you create a website like phpmyadmin.mydomain.coma nd then install phpmyadmin into it.

Hi Till,

As far as I can see we have not assigned an IP address to any specific web site. I did add the fqdn of the server to our external dns because ISPConfig uses a hyperlink with the server name. The same result from ISPConfig as you can see below.

Not Found

The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.11 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.6-3ubuntu4.1 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8g Server at styleserver02.style-cafe.com Port 80

Could you suggest other possibilities?

The tutorial said:

PHP Code:

Secure phpMyAdmin by deleting the /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup file...
vi /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf 


See if this works. Other distros work different.
Where ever your phpmyadmin is. Symbolic link it to the /var/www/ file. since you have a LAMP system.

Hi WayneKan1111

Yes you were right the symlink fixed the problem specifically:

ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/

perhaps this should be added to the HowTo ???

Thank you

wow .. although this thread is old .. I have been searching for ages for the solution of phpmyadmin not working. I have tried a billion things, ok maybe not a billion.. Anyway the code waynekan1111 and brian have written a was 100% spot on

ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/

fixed just like that

Thanks
