Hi, I’m trying to do this now on Hardy and having a problem. I’m new to all this so there’s a fine chance I’ve stuffed it up.

Hi Dylan, this sounds quite strange… Let’s check a couple of things…

When I freshly install phppgadmin the only file inside /etc/phppgadmin/ is config.inc.php — there is no apache.conf.

Wierd… Okay, try installing again (you did install via `apt-get`?), if you don’t get the `/etc/phppgadmin/apache.conf` file this time, here’s a copy of the one off my install - create the file yourself and paste this into it:

Alias /phppgadmin /usr/share/phppgadmin/



DirectoryIndex index.php

Options +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
# allow from all


  php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
  php_flag track_vars On
  php_flag register_globals On
  php_value include_path .



  php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
  php_flag track_vars On
  php_flag register_globals On
  php_value include_path .

Finally, delete and re-create the symlink, fingers crossed this should kick things into life for you:

sudo rm /etc/apache2/conf.d/phppgadmin.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/phppgadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phppgadmin.conf

Let me know how you get on.

Hi, I’m trying to do this now on Hardy and having a problem. I’m new to all this so there’s a fine chance I’ve stuffed it up.

This is what’s happening:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
apache2: Syntax error on line 295 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/conf.d/phppgadmin.conf: No such file or directory
…fail!

When I freshly install phppgadmin the only file inside /etc/phppgadmin/ is config.inc.php — there is no apache.conf.
I’ve set up postgres with your most recent tutorial.
Some guidance will be much appreciated! Thanks.

Also, it’s a Slicehost box which has been set up with their various instructions (starting at the very beginning with http://articles.slicehost.com/2008/4/25/ubuntu-hardy-setup-page-1).

You need of course, php5-pgsql

That should be installed already - it's a dependency of phppgadmin. For more info on account creation, see here.

su -c 'createuser -P admin' postgres Enter password for new role: Enter it again: Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y CREATE ROLE

You need of course, php5-pgsql

GREAT MANUAL!

Heya,
I followed your instructions but I cannot login on phppgadmin, not with postgres, not with my account. Do you have any hints on how I can debug this? Thanks!

Great tip, thanks! This also has the added benefit of working nicely with virtual hosts (as the original setup would barf if you started to use virtual hosts).

Will add this to the above.
