 Posted: Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:26 pm Post subject: phpmyadmin connection refused (SOLVED) |
 |
|
I have emerge phpmyadmin and follwed the instructions output at the end of the emerge but when I point my browser to
| Code: | | http://localhost/phpmyadmin |
I get the reply | Code: | | The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost. |
I have tried my ip and hostname instead of localhost, tried the path to the phpmyadmin folder and tried disabling my shorewall (firewall) all without success.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Does connecting to localhost itself works, i.e. are the standard apache permissions sufficient ?

Thanks for the reply...
Ahh! So I need apache started! 
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/apache2 start |
gives output | Code: | Starting apache2...
apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.0.1 for ServerName
(2)No such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file /usr/lib/apache2/logs/error_log.
Unable to open logs |
| Code: | ls /usr/lib/apache2/
build conf extramodules lib logs modules |
but | Code: | cd logs
bash: cd: logs: No such file or directory |
/etc/hostname is set as is /etc/dnsdomainname
Hmmm. even more confused now!

Ok... I have solved log dir error by
| Code: | | mkdir /var/log/apache2 |
and the servername error by uncommenting the field in | Code: | | /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf |
Now pointing browser to | Code: | | http://localhost/phpmyadmin |
shows me the page code
| Code: | <?php
/* $Id: index.php,v 2.14 2004/10/19 17:23:09 nijel Exp $ */
// vim: expandtab sw=4 ts=4 sts=4:
/**
* Gets core libraries and defines some variables
*/
require_once('./libraries/grab_globals.lib.php');
require_once('./libraries/common.lib.php');
/**
* Includes the ThemeManager if it hasn't been included yet
*/
require_once('./libraries/select_theme.lib.php');
/**
* Saves collation_connection (coming from main.php) in a cookie
*/
etc......... |
rather than the actual page...
Getting there!

You have to add PHP support to apache; edit /etc/conf.d/apache2 and add "-D PHP4" to the options.
Also uncomment it if it isn't!
...and restart apache, of course.
