Since i move to Ubuntu recently, i need to setup all the development environment. My stack is using Nginx with Apache + PHP as the webserver and use MySQL as database. Since i don’t like to use
/var/www
as the home directory for the apache, i moved it to my /home/ivan/public_html folder. And to make it easier, i need to change PHP to run as my user role. For that i install suPHP module on Apache, and then chmod 755 all the php files.
Everything is working correctly, except PHPMyAdmin, since it is installed in
/usr/share/phpmyadmin
, and all the files and folders under root permissions. So when Apache run it, it cannot run the PHP. To fix it i just edit the file
/etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf
and add these line below:
<Directory /usr/share>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
<FilesMatch "\.ph(p3?|tml)$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>
# To re-enable php in user directories comment the following lines
# (from <IfModule ...> to </IfModule>.) Do NOT set it to On as it
# prevents .htaccess files from disabling it.
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
php_admin_value engine Off
</Directory>
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
</Directory>
By adding those line, means the suPHP mod will not run if the root directory us /usr/share/
After that don’t forget to restart your Apache:
sudo service apache2 restart
And now the PHPMyadmin will work perfectly!
