Drupal for Dummiesstarting PhpMyAdmin in XAMPP in Linux - how?
Submitted by madevan on Fri, 01/22/2010 - 08:43
I work with windows in a supporting role but at home I have been using Linux for about 4 years.
I have used MINT for the past 3. I downloaded XAMPP and installed in /opt per the instructions given - it was seamless and EASY! I started XAMPP easily too. Then I came to page 42 of DFD at the bottom. it says, "Locate and open the PhpMyAdmin program installed by XAMPP or MAMP.
HOW?
I tried starting it from the command line but no go (even as sudo)
do I need to install any software apart from that installed by the XAMPP bundle?
Do I need to check that some programs ARE installed first?
Just when I think i'm getting good at Linux - something comes along to prove I'm a bozo :)
Can you advise please, so i can proceed further and install Drupal
Thanks
Access to PHPMyAdmin with Linux

The quick and easy way is to browse to http://localhost/xampp (or wherever you installed xampp).
