I just noticed that there is a "MySQL Administrator" and "MySQL Query Browser" in the Applications/Development menu.

 

Well, PHPMyAdmin doesn't seem to be installed. Reinstall it through synaptics.

 

This is what I get In the Details once synaptic is done (re)installing.

Code:

Preconfiguring packages ...

Does the phpmyadmin page show up under /var/www/?

 

nope

 

if you have no other website things/changes

Code:

sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 phpmyadmin

then re-install them

Code:

sudo apt-get install apache2 phpmyadmin

or

Code:

sudo aptitude install apache2 phpmyadmin

 

What do I do here?

Code:

Select Apache2

EDIT: you can recall that by doing

Code:

sudo dpkg --reconfigure phpmyadmin

 

It's still not showing up.

 

phpmyadmin does not show up in apache on mine either, but just type in http://###.###.###.###/phpmyadmin/, or with ssl and tunneling http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

 

Thanks. I can get to it but isn't in /var/www/

 

That is because in the latest version of xubuntu phpmyadmin is not places in /var/www/ instead it uses a alias. In theory it gives the same function, only phpmyadmin does not show up if you have no index page in root

 

I don't know if this issue has been addressed by a previous post but I couldn't find anything related after scrolling through the messages.

I've been using PuTTY and UltraVNC Viewer without any issues for a couple of months now. The only glitch I suffer from is when my Xubuntu box goes headless and I try connecting to it from other computers. UVNC viewer cannot seem to resolve the correct resolution from my Xubuntu box and keeps giving me only 640x480 (or the like).

One thing I've noticed is that when I temporarily attach a monitor to my Xubuntu box, UVNC viewer then defaults to the correct resolution. After the Xubuntu box reboots, however, the screen resolution glitch comes back.

I've tried newer versions of UltraVNC Viewer to no effect. Anyone have the same issues and/or have tips for this problem? Thanks and cheers!

 

It sounds like it is not a problem related to your UltraVNC client. I think it might be a problem related to your Xubuntu box. I think you should check the settings for displays on your box.

 

Hi Glider....You did a wonderful job with these articles. I was looking for an alternative to Window$ Home $erver and you took me almost there. I am noobie to Linux but enjoy learning. Are you planning a part III?

Cheers

 

I remember Glider saying that if you have ideas for a good subject, there might turn up an article about how to do it. He wasn't gonna make one by himself, if there wasn't the need for one. Just say what you are interested in knowing about, and he might look into it.

 

I have this same problem too and would also like an answer if anyone knows. I also have a few other problems that if anyone knows how to solve I would appreciate:

1. I can't seem to set a static IP address up, anyone have any experience with this?
2. I haven't downloaded the no-ip package, because I wanted to try out the forwarding first. I got the forwarding on 2222 to work but when I try forwarding 80 to 12345 it doesn't work, do I need to have no-ip set up for the second forward to work?

 

As I have said before, I think the problem is related to the Xubuntu box itself, and has nothing to do with the ultravnc client.
