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!

Does the directory
/etc/phpPgAdmin/already exist? You’ll receive that error if it doesn’t. Try creating it first:Remember, on Linux directories and filenames are case sensitive.
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.
