Aaargh! Just lost an entire post during login - please fix your sessions, DO!</rant>
I have an Ubuntu 18.04, Wordpress, MySQL, Litespeed OLS installation and had access to my phpmyadmin via the IP address. I installed the SSL and got that setup and running and now I can’t figure out how to configure OLS to access my phpmyadmin.
I’ve tried putting a static context on the OLS VH to redirect */phpmyadmin/ to the phpmyadmin directory on the server, but I just get the Wordpress 404 error.
Obviously I’m missing something, but I don’t know what.
Any ideas? I’m new to Litespeed server (pls note: NOT using Apache or Nginx, and articles describing how to configure them haven’t been helpful).
Thanks in advance for your help with this!
Regards, Justin

Hi @digitalocean1918664677468e,
LiteSpeed does provide an wordpress+openlitespeed+MariaDB+CertBot+phpmyadmin solution image on Marketplace.
So you can just launch and play with it in few minutes.
If you want to manually setup a phpmyadmin context, please see example settings below:
- URl:
/phpmyadmin/ - Location:
YOUR_PHPMYADMIN_PATH - Accessible:
Yes - Index Files:
index.php - Access Allowed:
* - Enable Rewrite:
No - Rewrite Inherit:
No
Best, Eric
Hi,
Do you mean issue now is visiting phpmyadmin and return a 404 page?
It maybe faster to help you with the issue on LiteSpeed Community on Slack
You can direct message me @eric, or just post your question in random channel.
Best, Eric
OK, Eric helped me with the solution - many thanks for your time and attention, Eric!
We’re in Litespeed Server Admin: Virtual Host > Context > Static
It seems that the URI and the Location don’t quite work the way the tooltips imply - which is that <Location> is appended to the <URI>.
In fact, the Location (which is the directory you’re mapping to) needs to include the directory name itself (not just the path to the directory it’s in).
Example:
URI: /phpmyadmin/
–> this is what’s appended to your VH domain, i.e. what the user accesses: https://www.domain.com/phpmyadmin/
Location /var/www/phpmyadmin/ –> NOT /var/www/
(These are default locations for the DO image I downloaded, YMMV).
Summary: tooltips need updating, plus a How-to maybe?! Thanks!
