Damn Cache of the Firefox!! (sorry..) Finally solved! The soulution was found here http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:GJ6xSnWcp8oJ:www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/05/09/how-to-wordpress-on-ubuntu-gnu-linux/+apache2+%22AllowOverride+All%22+%22which+is+a:+PHTML+file%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1 ---
Briar Patch Please, Br'er Fox, please don't throw me in the briar patch! PHTML Files When I first installed this stuff on my desktop machine and tried: http://localhost/phpmyadmin and http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php I'd get a dialog window from Firefox: You have chosen to open [blank line] which is a: PHTML file And a prompt for an application to use for opening it. I picked /usr/ bin/firefox. The browser refreshed and then prompted again. This time I cleverly selected to always use this application, and was rewarded with a cascading opening of new tabs until Firefox crashed. Searching in Google I found a lot of people with this problem. One main theme in the advice was to clear out the Firefox cache. (Tools >> Clear Private Data is one way you can do that.) I tried that and restarted Firefox and tried a few more times for good measure, but no luck. A lot of other pages suggested dabbling in httpd.conf or apache2.conf. I finally tried: sudo vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf And followed advice to uncomment these lines: #AddType application/x-httpd-php .php #AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps And add .phtml: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps Then a restart of Apache (see instructions in the Apache section above), and maybe a final clearing of the cache in Firefox, and finally I could open phpMyAdmin in the browser. (I didn't have this problem when I installed on my 6.10/Edgy laptop. Those lines are still commented there. And then I couldn't get it to break again on my desktop so I could write about the details here. Kind of a flaky problem.) Trying to stop/start/restart Apache as a regular user If you try issuing commands to Apache as a regular user (most likely because you forgot to use sudo), you'll get errors that might not make your mistake obvious. Especially with /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: httpd not running, trying to start (13): make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs With /etc/init.d/apache2, a little bit more of a clue with the first line: open: Permission denied * Forcing reload of apache 2.0 web server... httpd (pid 27117?) not running And it hangs there until you try CTRL+C.
