WampServer

Hi Guys,

I have an issue with WAMP server not feeding the PHPMyAdmin pages across the internet.

I have installed WAMP Server many times, however, this is the first time I've used it in a testing environment on a PC outside my network.

I have WAMP feeding on Port 8080 on a Public IP address on a server. I can get my web pages and all other services feeding through on that port. However, everytime I have tried to access the PHPMyAdmin functions via the web it will not work, I get "the page cannot be displayed".

Any ideas?

Regards

Kris

yes phpmyadmin is blocked from outside use by default.


open C:\wamp\alias and open phpmyadmin.conf


<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin2.11.5/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>


change that to


<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin2.11.5/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Allow, Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>




copy what i have a above as i have a few changes to it. now phpmyadmin will be accessible to everyone on the server so make sure u add a .htaccess .htpass file to secure it

When you open your MySQL wide through your phpMyAdmin, make sure you have at least a security in place or every one can easy access your db and change everything they like

Hi,

Thank you both for the information, but for some reason it still will not show phpmyadmin remotely.

So I am still a bit stumped! I would like to use the built in phpmyadmin rather that upload and use my own version if possible.

what error are u geting? just page not found or forbiden?

No error just page not found like it's not being served.

can u post up a copy of your phpmyadmin.conf in the alias folder

Here you go:

Alias /phpmyadmin "D:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin2.11.5/"

# to give access to phpmyadmin from outside
# replace the lines
#
# Order Deny,Allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
#
# by
#
# Order Allow,Deny
# Allow from all
#

<Directory "D:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin2.11.5/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Allow, Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Interstingly enough, although I'm not sure if it's related but the phpmyadmin url is now showing a 403 forbidden Error!?

yes this is better. but still i dunno why ur getting this cos u have the right code.


anyway the best solution and quickest is to just move your phpmyadmin2.15 folder from c:/wamp/apps
and move it directly into your www folder and rename it phpmyadmin



so u now have c:/wamp/www/phpmyadmin


then in the c:/wamp/alais folder remove the phpmyadmin.conf file





PLEASE NOTE: as before when allowsing it over the network your phpmyadmin folder is now open to the public so use a .htaccess file to supply security to it

I'll give that a whirl tomorrow.

Many thanks for your help Steve.
