Unable to set up phppgadmin on server

I've been following the tutorial on:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-phppgadmin-on-ubuntu-12-04

I'm really new to Linux and I've had a few people try and help me out, but still haven't solved my problem.

I've already installed php, postgresql, and apache utilities. However when I attempt to use:
sudo htpasswd -c /etc/phpPgAdmin/.htpasswd username

I get htpasswd: cannot create file /etc/phpPgAdmin/.htpasswd

I've been working like crazy to try and get this set up. I'm trying to use postgreSQL for a class project and I want to use phpPgadmin to make the whole process of adding and modifying tables much easier than console commands. I'd really appreciate any help! Thanks in advance!

Hi!

May be you will be better off installing pgAdmin on your local machine and accessing your server remotely? I faced similar problem recently and made a tutorial (having postgresql installed, you will have to follow it from step 4 of Postgres part)

Sorry for not answering your main question.

Does the directory /etc/phpPgAdmin/ already exist? You'll receive that error if it doesn't. Try creating it first:

mkdir /etc/phpPgAdmin/

Remember, on Linux directories and filenames are case sensitive.
