some phpmyadmin pain....

[nephish]

Hey there all,

i have installed phpmyadmin on fresh install of Hoary, i go to localhost/phpmyadmin and the browser tells me it cannot find /cgi-bin/yada yadda on this server.
the directory it put into my /var/www is not a directory but a symlink. i tried to get the thing by typing in the whole path and when i go for the index.php file, it asks me if i want to open it with a text editor or save it to disk, basically, my php isnt working..
what should i do?
thanks

It sounds like you need to install apache with php and mysql support. Here's a link that should get you started....

There are also some instructions on the Ubuntu Guide: http://ubuntuguide.org/#apachehttpserver
After following these instructions and installing phpmyadmin from apt, my server worked without a hitch.

yep think with all the installs / removes / etc.... i have totally gakked up my system.
not to worry. i can start fresh tomorrow, format, install, etc... follow the starter guide.
ah-well.

thanks for the tips.
