I was lazy and from this web page copied and pasted:
server.modules and alias.url = ( “/phpmyadmin/” => “/usr/share/phpmyadmin/”)
right into my configuration file. It did not work because the quotation marks were not the standard quotation mark character. After replacing the quotation mark characters it worked.

It's funny that this really old post is still useful for people. I should update it with some code boxes so people don't have the " copy and paste issue.

Oh man. Great post, but because I'm a complete noob in Linux-server stuff I just copied and pasted the italic text… And "" look different then

Man, it took me ages to figure out that )) Now working fine, thanks a million! Cheers.

I tried following your directions, and have the alias setup and working however when I try to view the phpmyadmin page I recieve a 403 – Forbidden error when viewing from a machine in the local network, any idea's as to why?

i think this should solved the problem

alias.url = ( “/phpmyadmin/” => “/usr/share/phpmyadmin/index.php”)

yo,
add: static-file.exclude-extensions = (“.php”, “.pl”, “.cgi”, “.fcgi”)
to your lighttpd.conf – this will help with your index.php-problem…

It’s possible that removing Apache also removes the extensions you’ve just installed. Depends on the package dependencies and where lighttpd can provide these. Have you tried leaving apache installed but not running? ie. Deleting the rc?.d startup scripts and stopping the process.

I’ve stopped running this setup recently, in the process of migrating services around. Some time in the next month I’ll check out the php4 modules and post an updated entry.

I’ve installed Lighttpd for Kubuntu 5.10. I have also installed MySQL5 from Dotdeb.
Then I followed your instructions above, but for php5-cgi instead. PHPMyAdmin works, but I got a problem
when trying to add more extensions to PHP now. Every extension I try to install fails because of PHPMyAdmin. It must have something to do with the fact PHPMyAdmin installed Apache (and I removed Apache). The package manager also states that PHPMyAdmin is broken, I guess it’s because I removed Apache. What can I do to fix this!? I want to be able to add php extensions to my Lighttpd/PHP5 server. How?

The reason is the ending slash on the alias line:

http://example.com/phpmyadmin

is NOT found, but

http://example.com/phpmyadmin/

should work in your configuration.
