How To Install phpmyadmin in Ubuntu 10.4

apt-get install phpmyadmin :)

How do i Access phpmyadmin after it gets installed?

www.yourdomain/phpmyadmin

by default

You will also, I believe, need to create a symlink between the phpmyadmin install file and your web root for the url to work:

cd /srv/www/ducklington.org/public_html
ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin

(as seen here http://library.linode.com/databases/mys … an-5-lenny">http://library.linode.com/databases/mysql/phpmyadmin-debian-5-lenny)

It should do that automatically. During the apt-get install it gives you an option to configure itself with your webserver.

Hello,

I'm sorry to open this post again, but this is my last painpoint :)

cd /srv/www/ducklington.org/public_html
ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin

I guess I should replace ducklington.org, but I don't understand with what..

(I'm a big newbie)

Thanks you very much

you need to replace duck with whatever home directory you created when you first set up the virtual hosts for your website (look under your /srv/www directory using something like filezilla or ssh)

Typically, people tend to make this their domain name and then they stick something like public_html or htdocs right under that folder which is the web root that is visible to the world

Also for extra security, after you create the sym link, i would rename that to something like "php-lol" or any other non-default name. There's a bunch of bots out there that scan /phpmyadmin for vulnerabilities and such.

Thanks saudor!

I have nothing under my srv folder, all my files are under my "home" directory.

I follow this tutorial on Linode.com resources to set up my site…

I'm a bit lost :roll:

Thanks again

right. So they should be under your /home directory so instead of /srv/www/ducklington.org/public_html

For you, it might look something like /home/YOUR FOLDER THAT YOU CREATED/public

If that is the case, all you have to do is replace that "/srv/www/ducklington.org/public_html" with the full path to your public directory and it should work
