Linux & phpmyadmin

[Fidbeck]

I know Jacek uses Ubuntu but I have a question

I've installed today Linux Mint on a VM and its working fine, except fot a little problem. When I try to reach phpmyadmin it says

New XAMPP security concept:

Access to the requested directory is only available from the local network.

This setting can be configured in the file "httpd-xampp.conf".

Can anyone help me out?

[jacek]

Google for the location of httpd-xampp.conf, open it, disable the setting

I already found it lol
its in opt /lampp and did a search to find the file.
my problem is what I have to change to make it work.

today I found this
http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopi ... 17&t=50970
maybe it will help me to make it work. I have to try it when I get home.
but there was a person who said that its better to install all the components individually. But if Xampp works as intended I guess i'll stick with it.

I would prefer to install each part separately since you can then make sure you always get the up to date versions easily but it's really a personal preference.

Do you have any tut on how to install stuff individually?

Not really, there are plenty online though.

I mean the tutorials lol
Jacek is this, by any chance, yours?

I'm asking that because

where "/home/jacek/www-data/" is the path to the location you want to display by default

Is it updated or not?

I really need to know if that tutorial is updated.

[EcazS]

It was last updated 2009.

May I advise you to use this website http://google.com to find information.

[Fidbeck]

I've used a few terms but couldn't find one good updated tutorial

[EcazS]

I searched for "ubuntu install apache php mysql"
http://www.developmentwall.com/install- ... in-ubuntu/
http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-ap ... 11.10-lamp
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP

[Fidbeck]

Having problems here... :S

I followed this tutorial
http://www.developmentwall.com/install- ... in-ubuntu/
and added
sudo apt-get install php5-gd

1st - installed everything without setting a password and now I'm trying to connect to localhost/phpmyadmin and can't login without a password :S
2nd - all installation process went smoothly but how do I change permission in Mint?
the installation file went to file:///var/www/index.html I tried to create a php file in www folder and it says I have no permissions to do that.


EDIT1: Found the solution.
for the phpmyadmin password problem

sudo mysqladmin -u root password 'password'

for the permission to create files/folders

sudo chmod 777 /var/www

Thanks

EDIT1: Even though I tried

sudo chmod 777 /var/www

and

sudo chmod 775 -R /var/www

It didn't work out :s

That is pretty old, but the process is the same still

I would put the web folder in your home folder somewhere, having it a place you can't access (e.g. /var) will cause many problems

3 years old now xD
I'm using Lampp now because , eventhough it doesn't have he latest version, it works fine. but some day i'll try your tutorial.

[Fidbeck]

I still have a doubt though
Jacek when I use your tutorial to install Apache, PHP, phpmyadmin separately, how do I start the services?

for lampp I know I can create a Launcher and in the command part write this gksudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
but can I do the same for those 3 things? I mean use one Laucher to start them all?

There is no launcher, just stick with what you have
