This works on 9.10 as well with the only exception is that 9.10 automatically creates the symlink for you.

Hi, Iâ€™m trying to do this now on Hardy and having a problem. Iâ€™m new to all this so thereâ€™s a fine chance Iâ€™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 â€” 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 .

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.
