I have troubles configuring phpMyAdmin-2.5.7-pl1 on Slackware 10.

So far I have:

* an up and running web-server (Apache)

* initialized mysql via mysql_install_db

According to various phpMyAdmin guides and documentations, when I
point my browser to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ the MySQL management
controls should appear, but in my case I can see only the file-list of
my phpmyadmin directory. I have to click on index.php for everything
to appear as expected.

Since that's my first-time experience with both MySQL and phpMyAdmin I
wonder if the mentioned behaviour is normal or not.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

Sounds like you haven't enabled php in apache (mod_php) and/or set up
DirectoryIndex to recognise default php files in directories.

I can't tell you much more than that as I don't fiddle with apache much
myself (just setup a WinXP box to run httpd2 and php the other week), but
try the php website for more info.

I _have_ enabled mod_php (i.e. uncommented the line in httpd.conf
stating ``Include /etc/apache/mod_php.conf'') -- this was an earlier
issue when I was seeing only the php code in my browser on opening
phpinfo.php.

Yes! The DirectoryIndex was the answer! I added ``index.php'' after
``index.html'' and now it works as expected!

Many Thanks!!!

.... and cheers!!!
