PhpMyAdmin Problem on Unbuntu 14.04 and LEMP

Posted June 17, 2014 2.7k views
Hi guys, Okay newbie here so apologize if I sound stupid :) I have followed every tutorial on creating phpmyadmin and I tried testing it (107.170.109.37/phpmyadmin). Now, it seems odd since it redirects to the homepage again. I even tried 107.170.109.37/phpmyadmin/index.php and it doesn't work too. I have absolutely no idea where is wrong and do you have any suggestions for me in solving this? Thanks!

Hi! Could you point to a specific tutorial that you followed? It's easier to help figure out a problem if you know what steps have already been taken. I'd suggest this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu-14-04 Do other php files work as expected?

While many users require access to a database management system like MySQL, not all users feel comfortable interacting with the MySQL prompt on a daily basis. In this guide, we'll discuss how to install and secure phpMyAdmin, a web management interface for MySQL, on an Ubuntu 14.04 server.

    Hi astarr, Thanks for the reply. I found out the answer after creating a new droplet. Seems like after installing WordPress and then install phpmyadmin, it won't work. It would only work phpmyadmin and then wordpress. Much apologies and all work now :) Thanks again!

Without bumping this thread - I would like to know if there is way of fixing this without creating a new Droplet?

I’m experiencing the exact same issue as OP - I setup a LEMP stack, and installed WordPress. I followed [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-phpmyadmin-on-a-lemp-server](http:// “this tutorial”) only to visit mydomain.com/phpmyadmin and it show the WP homepage.

I have created a new sym relationship between the correct folders (/html) as required by Ubuntu 14.04, but it still doesn’t work. – I assume that the first relationship put in place is still causing the direct to the homepage?

Can i remove the initial relationship and let the updated one (correct one for 14.04) be used?

Many thanks, and sorry for bumping an old thread!

How To Install phpMyAdmin on a LEMP server
by Etel Sverdlov
This tutorial covers the installation of phpMyAdmin on a LEMP server (as opposed to a LAMP server). phpMyAdmin is a free software to work with MySQL on the web—it provides a convenient visual front end to the capabilities of MySQL.

    Can you pastebin your nginx virtualhost/server block config? Also, where have you installed phpmyadmin and where are your website’s files placed?

Thanks for your reply Kamal, but in the interim I just decided to start over with a new Droplet. I suppose the practice will do me good anyway ☺

Thanks.
