First I know this is not a list for PHP or Nginx setup or something else but I'll give it a try and ask here for support I'm running a new server with PHP 5.5.18 and Nginx 1.6.2 through FPM/FastCGI. The server is working fine since I have other websites running on it. Now I'm trying to configure phpMyAdmin and I tried this:
* 1. *Create a file under `/etc/nginx/sites-available/phpMyAdmin with this content:
server { server_name phpmyadmin.dev pma; root /usr/share/phpMyAdmin;
location / { index index.php; }
## Images and static content is treated different location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|xml)$ { access_log off; expires 360d; }
location ~ /.ht { deny all; }
location ~ /(libraries|setup/frames|setup/libs) { deny all; return 404; }
location ~ .php$ { include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $root$fastcgi_script_name; }
access_log /var/log/nginx/phpmyadmin/access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/phpmyadmin/error.log; } But any time I restart Nginx service I got this error:
nginx: [emerg] unknown "root" variable nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
* 2. *Create a symbolic link in `/var/www/html` to the route where phpMyAdmin was installed `/usr/share/phpMyAdmin` by running `ln -s /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/ /var/www/html` that way Nginx start fine but when I go to `http://devserver/phpMyAdmin%60 I got `Access denied.`
What I'm doing wrong? What is the right way to configure the server in order to serve phpMyAdmin as any other site?
