PHPmyAdmin - can not access

[ardasar]

Hi all,

Tried to install phpmyadmin using the instruction from FAQ but I get the message:

"You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server."

Im suspecting that i don't hae permission to the folder. how do I or where can I give myself permission. I'm new to Unix command.

I'm using VMware Wiki8.08.2

Thanks

Can you paste the output of ls -la /var/www/phpmyadmin ?

Can you paste the output of ls -la /var/www/phpmyadmin ?

Hmmm, what about the contents of /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf and /etc/phpmyadmin/htaccess ?

Hard to debug without looking directly

ls /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
ls: /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf: No such file or directory

nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf - returned a blank page

Not sure if this helps.

Note, i did what the FAQ told me to do. not sure If I have missed any steps

Thanks

Are you able to do a remote desktop session with me to have a look at the problem?
