I got as far a the last stage and also got no connection for
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
so I did
ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www
and I do get a connection now but it says

“phpMyAdmin -

Cannot load mysqli extension. Please check your PHP configuration. – Documentation”

Firstly make sure that phpmyadmin is installed. After that if it doesn’t work it means it would have not been linked in /var/www directory. To make this work just create a link from /usr/share/phpmyadmin to /var/www directory
Use command as root -
ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www

I can’t seem to get the localhost/phpmyadmin to work… It’s basically saying it’s not found it… I’m not sure if there should be any sign of it in the directory when I look in the file manager, but there isn’t.

Any ideas?

When I try to create the test.php file at /var/www I receive the following error: Error moving file: Permission denied.

Looking at permissions, it looks like only root has access. Either I don’t remember ever setting the root password, or I forgot the password. Is there anything I can do so I can put this file in the /var/www folder?

Just try to use command while opening mysql

mysql -u root -p

then enter your mysql’s root password.

Hi, when I get to the point where you say Set your root password for MySql-

* First type mysql in terminal , it will drop mysql prompt.

Then I get this output in the terminal: mysql
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘sbn’@'localhost’ (using password: NO)

What to do?

Thanks
