phpmyadmin problem

enragedchip · 2005-07-02 19:19:49

first of all, php works and so does the connection to the mysql database, but when i go to http://localhost/phpMyAdmin i get nothing not even an error

what could be wrong?

1) is it installed
2) is it configured
3) is php working with apache properly (ie do other php files work correctly)
4) is mysql loaded into php (uncomment the mysql.so extension line in /etc/php,ini)

From what you say, I assume that 3 and 4 are fine.
So, it is probably 1 or 2.

well its installed otherwise phpMyAdmin wouldn't exist and i'd get an error if i try to visit it and i've configure it using instructions from http://wiki2.archlinux.org/index.php/Ap … nd%20MySQL

Note: By installed, I meant were all the files actually there. I have on occasion had pacman do a silly thing and not install one or two files...I have no idea why, and it is very rare. Usually a reinstall fixes it.

do you have apache setup to allow .htaccess files?
What kind of AllowOverride directives do you have setup in apache?

Check to make sure your settings in the phpMyAdmin config file are correct too.

I do find it very odd that you are not getting anything though. Just a blank nothing is very odd. Try checking your httpd log files to see if anything interesting is showing up.

have you looked at the source of the page? That would say if its totally blank or "something" is being generated.

i've basically followed the instructions on the wiki page already mentioned so i've edited the .htaccess file and there's nothing odd in the log files just a missing favicon.ico but i doubt thats causing the problem.

when i view the source of the page in firefox i just get

<html><body></body></html>

I`ve just installed phpMyAdmin using pacman and there is no phpMyAdmin directory in /home/httpd/html.
Weird...

Kardell, try looking in /srv/www, that was where pacman installed on my system when i setup up phpmyadmin awhile back

i had the same problem - you can fix it the following way:
you have to link phpmyadmin from /srv/www/phpmyadmin to /home/httpd/html/phpmyadmin

you also have to add /srv/ to open_basedir in /etc/php/php.ini - if you don't do this you will get an "empty page" at calling phpmyadmin in you browser.

hope it helps

Hello
I did like You said, but it`s not working. I reloded apache, nothing changed - I`m simply watching all php files in text mode. :-P
Anyway Thank you, I`m closer to my salvation. ;->

how do you link that reference?

by using ln? which parameter

gernonimo · 2008-09-06 08:09:00

ln -s

dextrose · 2008-09-06 11:44:06

there is no /home/httpd/html/phpmyadmin
I have pacman -S phpmyadmin
# whereis phpmyadmin
which: no phpmyadmin in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core:/opt/qt/bin)

#whereis phpmyadmin (returns empty string)

I think I have a problem in the ~ directory, because most of the time I have to create, chown or chmod the directory / folders because of bad permission access. Do you know if there is a standart I should print to the folders?

I can't find the phpmyadmin files to link

regards,
dex.

gernonimo · 2008-09-06 13:45:13

phpmyadmin is a web application and you will not find it with "whereis". You can use pacman to exmine where the corresponding files are installed (pacman -Ql phpmyadmin)
You have to link it from /srv/www/phpmyadmin (<- i don't sit on an arch linux PC now - but i think this is the correct location - at least something similar ) to /home/httpd/html/phpmyadmin. Then you can access it (provided that your httpd is running) with your browser at http://localhost/phpmyadmin
