Question

I am trying to install phpmyadmin on webmin as webmin itself does not provide a very friendly Mysql administration, therefor i decided to install phpmyadmin on it.

I tried to install PHPMYADMIN as a module, but didnt work thru Virtualmin.

What I am doing right now is, open command shell within webmine and created a phpmyadmin folder inside etc/ so now it looks like etc/phpmyadmin/ I used wget command to get the phpmyadmin package, it worked, but the only problem now is i cant unzip it.. I am using the command unzip and the package name of phpmyamin but it says this:

Archive: phpMyAdmin-4.0.5-all-languages.zip?r=http:%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fdirectory%2Fos:windows%2Ffreshness:recently-updated%2F?q=phpmyadmin
replace phpMyAdmin-4.0.5-all-languages/ChangeLog? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename:  NULL
(EOF or read error, treating as "[N]one" ...)

1 archive had warnings but no fatal errors.

and when i write ls command within phpmyadmin it shows like this:

ls phpMyAdmin-4.0.5-all-languages phpMyAdmin-4.0.5-all-languages.zip?r=http:%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fdirectory%2Fos:windows%2Ffreshness:recently-updated%2F?q=phpmyadmin

What I am doing wrong??? how can i just unzip one of this zip files?

Was it helpful?

Solution

you actually unzip the files, just type: cd phpMyAdmin-4.0.5-all-languages ls

then you should see the files... You do not need to install phpmyadmin, then just open it in your browser and configure it...

and well you don want to unzip it inside /etc, you need to have it in your webserver directory or somewhere else (like /opt) and then configure the webserver...

Also you need to have installed php... so just look after your apache server or which one you have, so you know where to extract your phpmyadmin...

EDIT: if you are using apache, then look after Documentroot directory http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/ApacheWebserver

If you unzip phpmyadmin there, then you will be able to run it something like http://localhost/phpmyadmin .... where localhost is address of your server
