how to access phpmyadmin in lamp
I have installed LAMP
on Ubuntu 12.10, and I want to access PhpMyAdmin
, but I don't know it's URL.
I tried to access this URL : http://localhost/phpmyadmin
But I got this problem :
Not Found
The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
And these are the instructions I followed to install lamp:

Adding to @thomasrutter answer:
Just in case someone doesn't know this (i didn't for sometime), after running this command to reconfigure phpmyadmin
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin
this screen will appear in your terminal, make sure the *
is there inside the brackets []
like this [*]
for apache
using the Space
Assuming you followed those installation instructions to the letter, phpmyadmin should at least be installed on your computer. However, Apache configuration needs to be added for it to work.
When you installed phpmyadmin, it should have automatically set up its configuration for Apache, making it accessible at http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
(it's possible you may need the trailing slash?).
However, in case it didn't, you can re-run the initial configuration step with the following command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin
When changing Apache configuration, it should usually restart Apache automatically, but in case it doesn't, you can always restart Apache with:
sudo service apache2 reload
(Some changes require restart
instead of reload
).
If you are sure that you do have lamp-stack
just open up your terminal and type:
edit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
or
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
and paste the following at the end of file:
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
Then make sure you restart the server:
sudo service apache2 restart
After installing phpMyAdmin you need to configure it. There is great documentation here: phpMyAdmin @ Community Ubuntu Documentation
Try it out.
