I don't know what tot say, here is my config file (after the sample with subdomain that works) but it still doesn't work. phpmyadmin is installed in /usr/share/phpmyadmin and site works fine, so it's no error in my config file. it works only when I create a new vhost file like this and access phpmyadmin as a subdomain


server {
listen 80;
server_name phpmyadmin.domainname.com;
access_log /home/apps/logs/phpmyadmin.access_log;
error_log /home/apps/logs/phpmyadmin.error_log;

location / {
root /usr/share/phpmyadmin;
index index.php;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8888;
fastcgi_index index.php;

include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
}
}

vhost.conf

Hi se7en,

Your location line is incorrect and you may need a line to send php over also. Try the following inside your server directive.

index index.php index.htm index.html;
location   ^~ /phpmyadmin/ {
  root /usr/share;
  include /????/fastcgi_params;
  fastcgi_pass  127.0.0:9002;
}
location ~ \.php {
   include  /????/fastcgi_params;
   fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9002;
}

Don't forget to replace the ??? with the correct path - mine is /etc/nginx/ and check that phpmyadmin
has been installed in /usr/share/phpmyadmin - or adjust the root.

Regards

Ian
