I started each of the services through YaST through
System Services and set each of the services to automatically start on boot through the same window. Just to be sure, I restarted each of the services through the snippets of code that you provided and Apache2 was already running and MySQL restarted and I rebooted. Still the problem persists where I am forbidden from viewing PHPMyAdmin and the directory displays the list of files in the
public_html directory. The reason I know I have the correct path to the local server (the server I'm setting up on my system now using LAMP) is because when I view
http://127.0.0.1/, I get a single message of "It works!" which means that the server itself is setup. The other reason I know I have the correct path is because when I tried the same path yesterday, I was able to see the content of the
index.php file displayed (the only contents of the file where <?php phpinfo(); ?> so I was able to see the table of the PHP information). So, basically, the problem still persists.
(Thank you, though
