Question

I have setup an Ubuntu LAMP server, and I have had phpmyadmin working fine with my website. However, I have recently had to create a virtual host for my IP address to avoid a security issue with directory listings in Tomcat, and now I can no longer access phpmyadmin.

It used to be at 192.68.1.99/phpmyadmin, and the actual phpmyadmin files are located in

 /usr/share/phpmyadmin

I have a domain name pointing at my sever which I can use to point at phpmyadmin – how do I configure this?

thanks

Answer 1

Try to add

Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin

To your global configuration or to virtual host which serves 192.68.1.99:80

This will allows you to access it again on URL http://192.68.1.99/phpmyadmin

If you want to setup phpmyadmin to be available using domain name, it is very same,
just put this line into VirtualHost settings of server under which you want to access it.

If you receive errors like access forbidden, add also following lines:

<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin>
    Allow from all
    Deny from None
    Order Allow,Deny
</Directory>

<Location /phpmyadmin>
    Allow from all
    Deny from None
    Order Allow,Deny
</Location>
