XAMPP and myphpadmin

Postby siawacsh » 23. October 2012 00:22

Hello,

Here is my basic info.

I am using Ubuntu 10.10

Broswer is firefox 16.0.1

XAMPP 1.8.1

I installed XAMPP a few days ago seemingly trouble free. I could open and work with files. The troulbes started when I tried to connect to MySql using myphpadmin.

The initial symptom was

(./config.inc.php) is not readable.

Below were the file permissions
for ./config.inc.php

-rw-----w- 1 664 daemon 1459 2012-10-20 23:27 config.inc.php

Any attempt at setting permissions with chmod were ineffective.

I then installed myphpadmin according to this link

http://www.distrogeeks.com/how-to-install-phpmyadmin-in-ubuntu-12-04/

This brought up the MySql login but it would not let me in.

According to XAMPP readme I tried lampp for password and nobody for username without success.

My next step was to remove myphpadmin >> then removed XAMPP and reinstalled. I used to following command to remove XAMPP

#rm -rf /opt/lampp

Having reinstalled without any errors XAMPP fails to connect to localhost/index.php

Can anyone help?


Many thanks in advance

You likely have a file ownership problem.

generally all the files under /opt/lampp should belong to nobody:group

Good Luck
:)
