How do I access phpMyAdmin?

I installed phpMyAdmin on my computer. I used Apache as my http server. However, every time I go to http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/, this screen appears:

How do I make it so that this login screen appears instead:

have you tried the documentation of the what ever client you installed? — Jorge Y. C. Rodriguez, Sep 24 '13 at 18:13

You may be better off to install an integrated suite, such as:

XAMPP - Linux/Windows/Apple * store web pages in htdocs

WAMP - Windows

MAMP - Apple

Then, just going to the address localhost will give you a menu, with all components (apache, phpmyadmin, tomcat, etc etc)

They are all free, so why not?

Add this

DirectoryIndex index.php

to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf (or wherever your apache.conf or httpd.conf or whatever is).

If you happen to be running on Windows, look for the Apache webserver directory.

XAMPP Users: If you have installed it as a service, changes to configuration files seem to take effect only when you restart the service through the Services panel and not via the XAMPP control panel.

I can't seem to find the directory named "etc". Is that in the Apache directory? the phpMyAdmin directory? :( – Nico Encarnacion Sep 24 '13 at 18:25

Use http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/index.php

or

Check your host config, check the DirectoryIndex param.

You need to edit your apache2 config file to include PHPmyadmin.

Do this: gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

OR nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Add this to the end of your config file:

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Save then restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
