I'm having the exact same problem, except I'm using Apache2 instead of lighttpd. So this problem has nothing to do with lighttpd but rather with phpmyadmin.
I've installed (using apt-get):
- apache2, works fine
- mysql, works fine
- php, works fine (tested with a php file in /var/www/ )
PHPMyAdmin just doesn't work. Trying to access http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ Firefox pops up the "Open With" dialog for an unspecified PHTML file (???).
Did: ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/
Same result, except now I can access http://localhost/phpmyadmin/main.php -- which results in the exact warnings mentioned by slamjam earlier:
Warning: include(/etc/phpmyadmin/config.header.inc.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.header.inc.php on line 6
While the /etc/phpmyadmin/ directory does exist, it's empty.
This is extremely frustrating since I have absolutely no idea what to do about it.
LE: it gets weirder. I've just removed phpmyadmin completely and deleted all the files related to it that I could find and STILL when trying to go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ it still says it wants to open a PHTML file. But get this. I can download it. The name of the file is KoiWhp1e.phtml.part. Here are its contents:
