Apache and phpMyAdmin

[Aatish910]

Hello
I am just configuring my PC for learning php.
If I install phpMyAdmin from rpm,it works however if i download it manually and put in /home/user/public_html/phpMyAdmin
and then browse http://127.0.0.1/~user/phpMyAdmin,I just see a blank page.
What is the reason?

In OpenSuse the Apache directory usually is /srv/www/htdocs/phpMyAdmin/

The reason is your Apache config file isn't configured to display files from the public_html folder.

The reason is your Apache config file isn't configured to display files from the public_html folder.

On the contrary, it is configured to display web pages from this folder by default. Except for phpMyAdmin that is usually in the folder pointed by Vivianno_Guastalla.

That's news to me. Different defaults for different methods of installation?

I installed from a tarball in /usr/local and my config file was configured to display everything from htdocs,, until I edited it.

joomla works fine from that folder.

Open a terminal;
su -
tail -f /var/log/apache2/error_log

Keep the terminal open and try to access the phpmyadmin URI, see what errors are printed out on the error_log.
