Installation of MYSQL/phpMyAdmin

[ztirffritz]

Originally Posted by Corvillus Getting a LAMP stack on Ubuntu is fairly straightforward sudo apt-get install mysql-server sudo apt-get install apache2 sudo apt-get install php5 sudo apt-get install php5-mysql sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin After doing that phpMyAdmin should be installed at http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

When I try to go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin it just tries to download a file. It acts as if it has not finished installing. The file that it tries to download is
1n0nhifs.phtml

**EDIT**
I got in by going to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index

Make sure your apache server is loading the php5 module... If you have apache2 and php5, there is an apache command to enable it, but I can't think of it. If you want to do what I did.. do this

sudo mv /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5 .load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled && sudo mv /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5 .conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

[kg1]

Rather than moving the files as Nikron suggests, I think the preferred method is to make symbolic links from the mods-enabled directory.

cd /etc/apache/mods-enabled
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf php5.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.load php5.load

for whatever mods you need enabled.

And don't forget to restart apache2

Actually, wouldn't it just be easier to

a2enmod php5

My bad for not remembering the command earlier..

Any suggestions for what to do if the php5 module is not installing correctly?

# apt-get install php5
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
php5 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

# a2enmod php5
This module does not exist!

# ls /etc/apache2/mods-available/ | grep php | wc -l
0

I found the fix:

# apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package phpmyadmin

I think that's because you don't have the universe apt source enabled... try something like this:

$ sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list
*uncomment* this line: deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe
*save file*
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

You need the apt-get update in there to make sure it downloads the new headers.

Give that a go.

If I haven't given you the right source it has to be in one of these (because they are all I have enabled):

deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted
deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted
deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-updates main restricted
deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-updates main restricted
deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted

Make sure you run apt-get update after every source that you change.

Post back which one works so that I can correct this post

First things first. These forums have been extremely helpful.

I have an IMac running ubuntu.
I have Apache, mysql, VNC, putty and everything else running on it and it is great.

I had phpmyadmin on it and I messed something up and now it is gone.
I tried installing it again and it appears like it worked but when I go to /var/www there is no directory phpmyadmin.

Any suggestions???

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

## ALLREADY GOT THE SOLUTION!!
My source.list was not correct.
Thnx anyway, this forum is a great help!

I have done all the things on this page.
I have php5 running because I can see my localhost.
But why can't I get phpmyadmin running!
My list of services says that PHP5 and phpmyadmin are running.
But I can't see http://localhost/phpmyadmin.

Does somebody has an solution for my problem?
