I am new to linux and I am really trying to understand this. I have read through the forums but I am not understanding what people are saying to do.
I have the this error message when I type in "localhostphpmyadmin"
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
I have ubuntu 12.10
64bit
I am trying to put Drupal on a local host server and this is the link that I started with following the instructions
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBFqlgt7kuI
I recieved a 404 error code
I have tried to use the following commands to reset things from this link
"http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-to-fix-the-requested-url-phpmyadmin-was-not-found-on-this-server-796610/"
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin
no success and followed the next step
sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
I am totally lost as to what to do now. Someone please help.
