How to get permission to edit the file apache2.conf? [Ubuntu] - apache

I'm a beginner Ruby on Rails Programmer and I'm trying to install Apache2 + Passenger(That's for Rails Deployment).. and at the end of the installation process, Passenger gave me a few lines to add to the file apache2.conf at /etc/apache2/ but I can't override this file.. I have no permission =( I've also uploaded an image showing me the error.
P.S => I'm logged into Ubuntu with my username and password.
Please help! and thanks,
Rodrigo.

The simplest way is to open the file with the sudoedit program, as in
sudoedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
which will prompt for your password and then open your editor.

After the installation has completed, add phpmyadmin to the apache configuration.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Add the phpmyadmin config to the file. Include
/etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
Restart apache:
sudo service apache2 restart

If you are a beginner in GNU/Linux, I want to notice, for run command with root privileges run it with sudo:
sudo <your_command>
If you want to get root privileges for current terminal session (no need to type sudo each command) run:
sudo -i

I hope this will help someone considering the number of years since the last post. I tried this, and it worked for me.
sudo bash
Then the command to edit. Then save the file. Below is the site I got the procedure from.
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1845306

Enter the command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2.conf

Or you can use the following chmod 777 usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
this will enable you to read/write the config file but be warned if you are planning on putting apache2 online you must revert it back to the old permissions chmod 640 usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

Giving Apache permission on Joomla folder

I have a Joomla site that the files is owner by root:root. But this way I can't update or install any plugins on Joomla. However when I set de folder's site to the apache owner the site downs return ERROR 500.
How could I fix it?
I've tried set apache owner end set the permissions like below:
chown apache:apache /var/www/html/site
chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/site
Ps.: The site was migrated from another server where the owner of the files is the apache.
Simply run apachectl -S as root or sudo (sudo apachectl -S) and look at the lines which tell User and Group owner.
Other solution, typing the command ps faux will tell you what you need at first column the owner of the process you want to know about.
Also, htop command could help you as same as before if it is installed.
EDIT :
you can also specify -R to do recursive with chown command
I found out the solution. Was just the permissions on files the problem. I don't know why, but when I moved the files of site to another server the folders change the permissions 755 to 655. Changed this permissions everything cames back to normal.
Thanks again!

phpmyAdmin admin page displays only "demo server"

Linux Mint 18
Apache2 server
MYSQL Server
Hello! Does anyone have a moment to advise me?
Here's my problem in brief: I am trying to configure phpMyAdmin on a Linux Mint 18 computer, but when I try to view http://localhost/phpmyadmin/, I get a "phpMyAdmin demo server" screen.
Details:
The phpMyAdmin web page begins with an addJSON statement, and echoes this message:
'You are using the demo server. You can do anything here, but please do not change root, debian-sys-maint and pma users'
I understand I am viewing some sort of demonstration page for phpMyAdmin, but I would rather view the actual, familiar phpMyAdmin administration page.
Do I need to edit the Apache2.conf file? Or something else? Thank you very much for your time.
Eric
i had this problem with ubuntu 16.04
fix
1# Remove phpmyadmin completely
sudo apt-get remove phpmyadmin
2# Install phpmyadmin with this command
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin apache2-utils
3# add phpmyadmin to the apache configuration
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
And put below line to end of the file
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
4# restart apache2
sudo systemctl restart apache2
or
sudo service apache2 restart
I had the same problem, but my error was because I commented the Handler in php.ini
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
I just enable php on apache and start work normal
a2enmod php7.3
I had to disable mpm_event because it was causing some comflict
a2dismod mpm_event
Perhaps PHP code is not being executed, instead code shows on the page or Apache shows php code instead of executing may help.
Linux Mint is similar to Ubuntu/Debian, so you need the libapache2-mod-php5 package installed (assuming you've used the package manager to install the rest of your PHP/Apache stack): sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5.
You can test this further by adding a file (called test.php or phpinfo.php or whatever else suits you) in the main phpMyAdmin folder with the content <?php phpinfo(); ?> -- then try to load that file directly and see if you get a long list of system status or simply the contents of the file displayed. The main reason to put it in the phpMyAdmin folder is that your Apache configuration might handle different folders differently, this is the simplest way to test what happens on that particular folder.

File permission in var/www/html/index.html?

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and I'm trying 2 get apache2 working. I've just installed apache2 and want to edit var/www/html/index.html however it says I do not have permission to edit or delete. I tried doing sudo chmod 755 index.html and it has given me permissions but the file still doesn't allow me to edit or delete it.
I needed to be under root so doing su then doing chmod 666 index.html as mentioned in the comments.
I had this issue when trying to re-access a /var/www/html/index.html file (SSH into a Raspberry Pi). I realised once I changed ownership/write rules via chown command it would consequently not allow me access unless I added sudo i.e. sudo nano /var/www/html/index.html.

phpmyadmin "Not Found" after install on Apache, Ubuntu

Setting up a development environment with Ubuntu 14.04 running in VirtualBox, following this guide: http://klau.si/dev
After installing phpmyadmin, it seems I should be able to access it at http://localhost/phpmyadmin but apache returns a Not Found error. Did this guide leave out a configuration step somewhere? I have already tried restarting the apache service.
There is no phpmyadmin.conf file in apache2/sites-enabled or apache2/sites-available, is this required?
If so, where can I find these files?
using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost returns the same error. The default apache page at http://localhost works just fine.
the console in the browser shows nothing of value, simply Not Found.
I have also tried rerunning the install script with dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin
This issue was resolved thanks to this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Troubleshooting_Phpmyadmin_.26_mysql-workbench by adding
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
...to the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and restarting the service.
Try this
sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo a2enconf phpmyadmin.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin
Select No when asked to reconfigure the database. Then when asked to choose apache2, make sure to hit space while [ ] apache2 is highlighted. An asterisk should appear between the brackets. Then hit Enter. Phpmyadmin should reconfigure and now http://localhost/phpmyadmin should work. for further detail https://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-ubuntu-13.04-lamp
The easiest way to do in ubuntu (I tested in ubuntu-20.04):
Step 1. Open the file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Step 2: Add the following line at the end of file:
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
Step 3: Restart apache2:
sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
Create a link in /var/www like this:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/
Note: since 14.04 you may want to use /var/www/html/ instead of /var/www/
If that's not working for you, you need to include PHPMyAdmin inside apache configuration.
Open apache.conf using your favorite editor, mine is nano :)
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Then add the following line:
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
For Ubuntu 15.04 and 16.04
sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo a2enconf phpmyadmin.conf
sudo service apache2 reload
Finally I got the solution
sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo a2enconf phpmyadmin
sudo service apache2 reload

Create a link in /var/www/html like this to fix the error:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html
For anyone still running into issues with this- check that you're actually using apache! I knocked my head against this for 20 minutes or so before I remembered...I use NginX on this server...=). #john-smith, this one's for you buddy.
To get it working on nginx, all you should have to do is create a sim link and restart php:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html
Note that for you, it may be /var/www/ and not /var/www/html, depending on your dir structure.
sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/phpmyadmin
sudo service apache2 restart
Run above commands issue will be resolved.
Run the following command in terminal:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/
It seems like sometime during the second half of 2018 many php packages such as php-mysql and phpmyadmin were removed or changed. I faced that same problem too. So you'll have to download it from another source or find out the new packages
You will need to configure your apache2.conf to make phpMyAdmin works.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Then add the following line to the end of the file.
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
Then restart apache
sudo service apache2 restart
I had the same issue where these fixes didn't work.
I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 using hestiaCP with Nginx.
Today after adding
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
into both Apache and Nginx, Nginx failed to restart. It was having an issue with "proxy_buffers" value.
Yesterday I had to modify the Nginx config to add and increase these values so Magento 2.4 would run. Today I altered "proxy_buffers" again
proxy_buffers 3 64k;
proxy_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 128k;
After the second alteration and the removal of "Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf" from both Apache and Nginx, Magento 2.4 and PHPMyAdmin are working as expected.
I didn't try Rashmi Jain's symlink answer. It seems like it would work. But if it doesn't work for you, perhaps try this.
I just created the file `/etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf' and added this line to it:
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
(rather than putting it into /etc/apache2/apache2.conf as in Anonymous Man's answer)
Then:
sudo a2enconf phpmyadmin
sudo systemctl reload apache2
I had the same problem after installing mysql, apache2, php and finally phpmyadmin after each other. In my case it was solved by restarting apache2 (no need to update any configuration file):
sudo systemctl restart apache2
#John smith, I was facing the same issue of not being able to access phpmyadmin for 3 days, I found the solution.
-- Get xampp, check this tutorial https://youtu.be/VHfij95yOpo
-- Run this command before starting xampp app
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
sudo service mysql stop
That's it, it worked for me
first go to the location of phpmyadmin via terminal then type this
code php -S localhost:8001
First check PhpMyAdmin is install or not. If it is installed then search PhpMyadmin folder. After search cut and paste that folder in location Computer->var->www->html->paste folder. Open browser and type localhost/phpMyAdmin and login using username and password.
If you are having this problem in 2019, go to your 000-default.conf file, by typing this subl /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf (in your terminal to open the file in sublime editor)
When the file loads, locate "The ServerName directive sets the request scheme" and place this "Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf" on top .
Then restart your apache with the command...service apache2 restart That will certainly fix the issue. Hope it helps!

Impossible write into the AJXP_DATA_PATH folder ajaxplorer

I uploaded ajaxplorer "pydio-core-5.0.4.zip" to my server and after I extracted files into a folder in the server i request the folder to starting install but i get this message :
"Impossible write into the AJXP_DATA_PATH folder: Make sure to grant write access to this folder for your webserver!"
i made the folder : /data permissions to 777 and it did not make change ..
any solve ?
I'v got the same problem few hours ago.
The problem:
You put full permissions (777) to the data folder, but subfolders don't get it.
The solution:
sudo chmod -R 777 data
sudo chmod -R 777 data
or
sudo mkdir -m 777 your_pydio_path/data/tmp/sessions
I know this is old, but I was having the same issue with pydio-core-6.0.8. Also, I'm going to preface this by saying that I am a php noob. But I was able to resolve my issue without a chmod 777 command. Instead, I made the nginx user the owner of the data directory.
chown -R nginx /path/to/pydio-core-6.0.8/data
And then made sure that php-fpm was running as the nginx user with the two php-fpm.conf settings
listen.owner = nginx
user = nginx
After restarting php-fpm, I was able to load the pydio page which went into the startup wizard.
This command is so easy! But it's dangerous!
Go to /var/www/pydio for apache2 or /usr/share/nginx/html/pydio for nginx and try:
chmod ugo+x data
It's more protected!
