How to access phpMyAdmin after installation?

  • 772

I've installed phpmyadmin sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin. Of course, I have also mysql and a web server running properly.

Now how can I reach it?

phpmyadmin

  1. Did you try http://localhost/phpmyadmin?

    Edit: Do this first

    sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

    add this line somewhere

    Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

    and finally restart apache.

    sudo service apache2 restart

  2. You probably skiped the configure from the package.

    Try this cli:

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin

    And when it choose the webserver to configure, select apache.

  3. It depends on your configuration.

    From my experience, I may reach with localhost/phpmyadmin but fail to login, I have to reconfigure phpmyadmin, reset MySQL password, and then I may login without problems.

    1. Reconfigure phpmyadmin
    2. Ctrl+Alt+t to launch terminal
    3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin
    4. Connection method for MySQL database for phpmyadmin: unix socket
    5. Name of the database's administrative user: root
    6. Password of the database's administrative user: mysqlsamplepassword
    7. MySQL username for phpmyadmin: root
    8. MySQL database name for phpmyadmin: phpmyadmin
    9. Web server to reconfigure automatically: apache2
    10. ERROR 1045
    11. ignore
    12. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5
    13. New password for the MySQL "root" user: mysqlsamplepassword
    14. Repeat password for the MySQL "root" user: mysqlsamplepassword

    But if your problem is fail to interpret php, follow the instruction to enable your php first.

    1. sudo gedit /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf
    2. look for php_admin_value engine off, between and
    3. Add # in front of php_admin_value engine off to disable it.
    4. REMEMBER! Don't change the value php_admin_value engine from off to on!
    5. sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    Wish it helps!

    Have a nice day!

  4. If you have changed the port in which Apache is listening on, default is 80;

    sudo nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf

    look for the Listen port should look like

    Listen 80

    if that port is diffrent in order to get into phpmyadmin your url must point to that port

    example

    localhost:port/phpmyadmin/

    change the port number to the one you have in the /etc/apache2/ports.conf
