How do i know if phpmyadmin is installed?

I just finished installing mysql-server, and then installed phpmyadmin which came with Apache and PHP. It set it up alright and made a phpMyAdmin database, but I can't seem to find the URL to get to it -- I tried going to http://my.server.ip/phpmyadmin but it doesn't seem to be there.

I can't find the location in any of the manuals, does anyone know where this is located? Thanks.

You just need to make a symbolic link to the installation in your server root. Mine is in /var/www/ (though check your DocumentRoot as default is often /var/www/html) so:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/phpmyadmin

After that, you'll be able to access trough localhost:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin

As for why is not installed by default in its right location, or the installer creates a symbolic link itself, I have no idea...

This answer is little bit more generic. To know the list of files installed by any package you have to do this

1. Get the name of the package with dpkg --list | grep phpmyadmin
2. For list of file installed use this dpkg --listfiles

I imagine that you probably are facing the same issue that I had the first time I installed phpmyadmin. Considering it's been over a year since you asked this, I'm assuming you've figured it out by now, but for future reference for others, if you can't see it when going to http://yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin, you probably need to reconfigure the package, and make sure that you place a checkbox in the apache2 box (assuming that's what you're using for your server) by pressing the spacebar before you continue. I was going quickly and just pressed enter, not realizing that I hadn't selected apache2. To reconfigure the package, use the following:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin

Oh, usually the phpmyadmin goes to /usr/lib/phpmyadmin if I'm not wrong.

I always need to move the folder to my www path.

For me it worked out differently.

I've had to copy the apache.conf file from /etc/phpmyadmin to /etc/apache2/sites-available and to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled using file manager as root.

Then I ran sudo service apache2 restart and everything was just fine.

Hope it's usefull.

Presumably you have Apache installed and that's what you use as your main web server (ie, it listens on port 80). If you have not done (much) customisation to your Apache install, it should be accessible at:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

(If you're accessing the server from a different machine, then obviously substitute localhost).

The installer for phpMyAdmin installs a config file into /etc/apache2/conf.d/ called phpmyadmin, which sets up an alias. Look at this file to see how it works and where it should appear on your website.

If you have modified your Apache configuration, it's possible though unlikely that you have done something which overrides the directives in that phpmyadmin config file. In which case you should be able to fix phpmyadmin's configuration yourself to get it working how you like it.

http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin

or also http://::1/phpmyadmin or http://localhost/phpmyadmin

read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost

also, type "ip addr" to see your public address (or semi-public with NAT)

Try using:
/phpmyadmin/index.php
That might just do the trick. In the past this one solved it for me.

In my case I had it under

/usr/local/phpMyAdmin-*

I guess you can always try to find it through (some) httpd configuration file.

In my case this command worked:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/html/phpmyadmin

Because my server root is default, that is: /var/www/html

sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin
