But how do I view other php files? I still get the open/save dialog box. Or do I have to login? Because I have no idea what my username is. I didn't get a choice of what to use. I know the password as it asked, but even using my login username does not work. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I figured it somehow, but thought it might help others... after: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin do this: gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and add this line: Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf then save the file. now do the other steps as mentioned in this article. After doing all this, phpmyadmin should be accessible via browser. i.e http://your-domain/phpmyadmin (your-domain = localhost) Thanks Yamin After installing the phpmyadmin, you didnt mention how to configure it, in order to run it from browser. I figured it somehow, but thought it might help others…

after: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
do this: gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
and add this line: Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
then save the file.
now do the other steps as mentioned in this article.

After doing all this, phpmyadmin should be accessible via browser. i.e
http://your-domain/phpmyadmin (your-domain = localhost)

Thanks

I just googled 'install phpmyadmin' and found several easy step by step guides - try this one http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server I guess no-one's made anything like WAMP for linux coz there doesn't sem like there's much more to it than typing: sudo apt-get install php5 mysql-server apache2 phpmyadmin - and then tweaking a few config files. It's publicly accessible servers where you need to get all hardcore about. You should be able to get to PHPmyadmin by browsing to http://localhost/phpmyadmin just like you do on Windows. If you dont get that you either haven't installed or configured it correctly Likewise for web pages to be served up as such you have to put them in your htdocs folder, just like you do with Wamp in Windows. If you don't know where that is search for your apache config file 'httpd.conf' and look in there. If you go to http://localhost you should get a listing of your htdocs folder rather than a 'Failed To Connect' Error. Anyway I'm just about to try this myself and as I suspect you're not the only one who's stumped as to the next step I'll make some notes as I do and write a detailed lead-you-by-the-hand guide on my blog soon at: http://movingtoubuntu.technicalbloke.com Keep your chin up and don't look back, it'll start to seem easier soon :-) Roger.

New as I am, however,to Linux (Ubuntu), I am used to WAMP on Windows. That is a matter of installation and you are up and running. Now that I have done the above, how do I get to php myadmin to administer my databases or get webpages in a folder I have no access to, though I have administrative rights. In other words, I havent a clue how to move on and find it highly frustrating. Is everything on Linux this complicated, because then I will move back to Windows? Hi,
