[SOLVED] localhost and phpmyadmin

[lrigoulot]

Being a total noob... Screwed up bigtime.

I am trying to make lampp server and could not access phpmyadmin so i followed some forum advice - made changes and can access it via 127.0.1.1 and it works fine but I lost my localhost. I either get 404 or am taken to that subject in the wikipedia depending on the access method.

Sure could use some help.

Thanks,
lou

So when you type in
http://localhost/
what does it do.
IS it only phpmyadmin that does not work.
Have you edited your hosts file?

if i go to http://127.0.1.1/phpmyadmin all works fine but if I try
http://localhost/ (in firefox) I am taken to the wikipedia, subject localhost. If go to 127.0.1.1/index.php i access my site but any links referencing localhost gets me a 404.

And yes, I did try to edit my hosts file but that did not seem to work.

thanks

Whats the contents off your hosts file?

sudo gedit /etc/hosts

[lrigoulot]

127.0.0.1 site
127.0.1.1 louis-laptop

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

127.0.0.1 localhost

Add that to the top

Then

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
