phpmyadmin question

[animaguy]

I followed this tutorial.

http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1022

but I do not have the gui interface for phpmyadmin when I open a firefox browser and type in the address bar:

localhost/phpmyadmin

can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

That tutorial sucks, no offense to the creator.
You need to get the phpmyadmin package as well.

For a complete webserver, the command is "sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server phpmyadmin"

[DataMan]

A more complete LAMP install is:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

Prior to installation, have your MySQL root password identified as you will be challenged during the installation to define it (can be set later). The same applies to the phpMyAdmin d/b access password as well as the phpMyAdmin login password.

A more complete LAMP install is:

Those other libraries are automatically pulled in as they are dependencies, so the big three that you must remember are apache2, mysql-server, and phpmyadmin.

thanks sagerfahmid3, DataMan

i will try it tonight and see what happens

[animaguy]

thanks guys for the input

actually the problem was i needed to add a line to the apache2.conf file to get the gui phpmyadmin on a browser

i am really happy at how easy it is to set up a LAMP development environment on Linux Mint
