Where is my phpMyAdmin installation?

Question

I just finished installing mysql-server, and then installed phpmyadmin which came with Apache and PHP. It set it up alright and made a phpMyAdmin database, but I can't seem to find the URL to get to it -- I tried going to http://my.server.ip/phpmyadmin but it doesn't seem to be there.

I can't find the location in any of the manuals, does anyone know where this is located? Thanks.

Answer 1

Presumably you have Apache installed and that's what you use as your main web server (ie, it listens on port 80). If you have not done (much) customisation to your Apache install, it should be accessible at:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

(If you're accessing the server from a different machine, then obviously substitute localhost).

The installer for phpMyAdmin installs a config file into /etc/apache2/conf.d/ called phpmyadmin, which sets up an alias. Look at this file to see how it works and where it should appear on your website.

If you have modified your Apache configuration, it's possible though unlikely that you have done something which overrides the directives in that phpmyadmin config file. In which case you should be able to fix phpmyadmin's configuration yourself to get it working how you like it.

Answer 2

http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin

or also http://::1/phpmyadmin or http://localhost/phpmyadmin

read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost

also, type "ip addr" to see your public address (or semi-public with NAT)

Answer 3

Try using:
<server_ip or localhost>/phpmyadmin/index.php
That might just do the trick. In the past this one solved it for me.

Answer 4

This answer is little bit more generic. To know the list of files installed by any package you have to do this

1. Get the name of the package with dpkg --list | grep phpmyadmin
2. For list of file installed use this dpkg --listfiles <package_name step 1>
