Hello again,

I checked each step , and everything looks good. testing.php and phpmyadmin run smoothly. the only thing when I try to execute install.php, the browser stop and blank.

Can you please advise? I did change the /etc/apache2/sites-available/[sitename] ,

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All ( and also to AuthConfig>
Order allow,deny
allow from all

restart the apache, and still not working. pls anyone can help?

"Should the first line in /etc/hosts read "127.0.0.1 localhost site1 site2" for instance?" No, each site requires a new line so instead of "127.0.0.1 localhost site1 site2" it should be: 127.0.0.1 localhost site1 127.0.0.1 localhost site2 You just repeat the steps you did to create site1 in order to create site2, site3, etc. except you add a line in /etc/hosts for each new site. Also, your site name can be pretty much any name you want (it doesn't have to be "site1").

Look at this post: http://tuxtweaks.com/2011/10/install-lamp-and-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu-11-10/
and find the section near the bottom that refers to Fixing phpMyAdmin.

Hi there,

I did it exactly the way you explained, and everything has been set up right. The only problem happened in the end ..

phpmyadmin could not be found ... i've got an 404 error, even with the "success" message at the end of installation "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place"

what could be the error?

Thanks that much ..

Great tutorial. I'm new to this stuff. Did the same thing for site2 as suggested but it didn't work! It generated the index.html output from /var/www/ instead. I think the tutorial needed to be a little more concise with regards to site2. Checked my scripts to ensure that there were no typo's. Should the first line in /etc/hosts read "127.0.0.1 localhost site1 site2" for instance?

Your virtual host file should refer to *:80 for port 80, not *:0.

HI.Thanks for the great tutorial.
Whenever i reload apache2 i get the following:
* Reloading web server config apache2 [Sat Nov 26 19:42:10 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts
[Sat Nov 26 19:42:10 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts

Also i am not able to send "PUT" requests via any REST client(for eg Google Chrome has an extension for the same)
