How do I get phpmyadmin working?

[Kunk]

My browsers refuse to read any php file at all so I am guessing that Apache2
is not set up correctly.

To answer your questions:

Seems to be looking for a missing ico file favicon.ico. I created one and
put it  in /var/www but no joy
...
 
 From what I can work out since everything is on localhost I just need the
default configuration

 extension=mysql.so  is uncommented.  My browser will not read php files at
all. It tries to open or download them.
 


Hi John,

Just a couple of things:

1. Always restart apache after any changes.
2. In /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, have you uncommented the following?
 
     AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
     AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

   PHP won't parse if you haven't. (Don't forget to restart/reload apache
after uncommenting.)

3. Seems like the file permissions are OK from the '200' creturn code, so
more than likely, it's the above.

4. Btw, the best directions for LAMP can be found at http://help.ubuntu.com
look for Server Admin under whatever version of ubuntu you're using.

5. If you're really desperate, all you need to configure in phpmyadmin (if
it's like phppgadmin that I use) is the file in conf -- conf.inc.php. 

Hth, 
Kunk
