I want to login in Mac without using a password for Phpmyadmin
I can't login in my mac and I can't find the place to edit the configuration as mentioned in the following question:
Can anyone confirm that phpMyAdmin AllowNoPassword works with MySQL databases?
With the help of sal answer, the path for my macSeiora is
/usr/local/etc/phpmyadmin.config.inc.php. thank you guys
Check in:
.../phpmyadmin[version#]/config.inc.php
The '...' will depend on how you install the app. It might be in the webroot or within MAMP or XAMPP etc. Some more phpmyadmin explanation here.
If you simply downloaded the official source from phpmyadmin.net and uncompressed it in your web root, you'll have to create the config.inc.php file yourself (in the main phpMyAdmin folder that you've uncompressed). You can see more detailed instructions in the documentation: https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html#manually-creating-the-file
If you've used some prepackaged kit such as MAMP or XAMPP, they sometimes move the file around, but their documentation should provide a pretty clear indication of that.

I am totally new to this stuff. I have installed Joomla on my windows pc to test my changes to the site before I try them on the actual site and mess things up.
I was given a backup using XCLONER. I installed xcloner but cant seem to restore the website.
I am using XAMPP.
I am also unsure where to place the directory where the restore file should be.
Any help will help. Any tutorials on this? again, just starting out with this stuff.
Thank you in advance.
There are so many references and tutorials out there:
Google
Also Joomla.org has adequate documentation for this.
I can't say exactly about how the XCloner works, but the general steps to replicate Joomla is:
Copy and place the files and folders at the new location
Download the database
Create a new database at the new host (your computer) and import the data from the one you downloaded.
Configure Joomla (configuration.php) to connect to the new local database (host,user, password, prefix -if changed).
At this point you should be able to run your site to the new location, but you probably want to change also the path for logs and tmp folders, to reflect the new location.
So I have been given the task of upgrading one of our companies' old websites that is based on 1.5 to something newer (because a second site of ours on the same version just got hacked).
I know some php and some other web stuff, but I'd never used Joomla.
I have setup a lamp server on a local VM (ubuntu) for me to test it all out on, then upload the upgraded version as is suggested. My problem now is that I know the permissions are not correct because when I tried installing Akeeba Backup, it kept throwing errors such as "could not copy to /var/www/components and /var/www/administrator etc. I went in and chmod'd those 2 (and then the rest of www because of more errors) to 757 (from 755 for the most part) - which i know at that point might as well be 777. Then when I've tried to use Kickstart to restore from the JPA file I have, it just right away throws an error "could not create j_backup/ folder".
I know this slackening of all permissions on the root folder is wrong, but it was the only way to get it to 'work', which it's not even now, so my question is what did I do wrong in the setup and how do i fix it? I'm not great with Linux, but I'm thinking I have to make PHP owner of www? is that right? or terrible practice?
The other issue I see now is that I just installed the latest php and everything and I see Akeepa says not to use php 5.4... not sure how much of a problem that's going to be....
Some direction would be great because I'm more than a little lost.
Thanks!
This is certainly a headache. Most often, as you stated, the issue is the ownership of the files on your server. Files uploaded via FTP will be owned by your FTP user and may not be editable by the Apache/PHP user. Similarly, files created by installing extensions in Joomla! will be owned by the Apache/PHP user and your FTP user will not be able to modify them. Here is an article discussing the problem with a couple of possible solutions:
http://docs.joomla.org/Why_can%27t_you_install_any_extensions%3F#File_ownership_advice_from_ianmac
In the past, I have used an Apache Module called suPHP (http://www.suphp.org/Home.html) to solve this problem and keep it from reoccurring. suPHP executes PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners.
As for file permissions other than ownership, please refer to the Joomla! documentation for the correct settings: http://docs.joomla.org/Verifying_permissions. One quick way to handle this (if you can install extensions after correcting the ownership issue) is to use the AdminTools extension (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-security/site-protection/14087). One of its tools ‘fixes’ the file permissions on your server by resetting them to the Joomla! default.
Good luck!
I have downloaded latest version of magento from their website. When i am running it from browser like this localhost/magento it redirects me to www.localhost.com/magento. I am using windows 7 and wamp. All other projects on my localhost are working fine just magento is having this redirect problem.
This problem is occuring in office. I tried it at home on windows 8 using wamp it installed without any problem.
Do somebody know how can i solve this problem and run magento on localhost??? Please provide me some help
Thanks james for the responce. There is nothing related to database there because this was all happening before i set up the configuration. Any ways i updated my php version and downloaded the latest version and it is running without any problem. I was using 5.3.13 previously and i dont think that its that too old that magento start doing problem.
It sounds like the magento URL stored in the database is set to be www.localhost.com/magento when you want it to be http://localhost/magento
You can check this from a MySQL gui of the command line by running:
select * from core_config_data where path = 'web/unsecure/base_url';
How I work is by setting up in the VHOST for apache a serverName so magento.local, I then update my hosts file ( Sorry without doing a google search I dont know where this is located on windows ). Then use this URL in my magento database.
Either way check the SQL above's result compared to what you are expecting. If you have any more problems after this please paste the output from the SQL and I can help more.
I have a Joomla site running on a windows machine. The site was at 1.6 when some update requests came in. I decided to update the site, but the automated process didn't work, so I started FTPing the files up there manually.
I followed the instructions for the manual upgrade at http://docs.joomla.org/Upgrading_1.6.5_to_1.7 once I got the site to 1.6.5, but my problems had already started before that.
Now when I go to mysite.com/administrator most images are not there and when I try to log in I get kicked up to my site root rather than the /administrator folder. I took the opportunity to look at the code and none of the image src attributes or the form action attributes include "/administrator".
Soooo I need a little advice as to why this is happening. I would rather not have to restore from my backup and start over at 1.6. I was kinda hoping for this to be my first Joomla 3 site. Thanks in advance.
You said that you had trouble with updating Joomla via the admin panel, however did you check if the folders were writable? Site -> System Information -> Directory Permissions Always check this page once you have installed Joomla as it is the reason why a lot of people are unable to install updates or normal extensions.
You then mentioned that you had to upload the files manually via the FTP, however this is not requires. All that is required it to upload the update.zip to the foot of your Joomla site and unzip it.
As for a proper answer, May I suggest that you first update to the Latest version of the 1.6 series (1.6.6), then you download a fresh copy of Joomla 1.6.6, unzip the "administrator" folder, zip that folder, upload via the FTP to your Joomla root folder, then extract it. This will override all the default administrator files.
In the end I had this client move their Joomla install off Windows and onto a Linux machine. Things were just getting worse with the install and I threw in the towel. Thanks to Lodder for trying to help.
This can happen if you are using the JSecure plugin. It requires a token in the URL to enter the admin panel, for example:
http://www.yoursite.com/administrator?token

I was able to fix this by removing the value that I had in the $live_site variable in the configuration.php file. I am also running this on a Windows server.
I am currently trying to install the latest version of Magento on a virtual machine running the latest version of Ubuntu Server. Ubuntu has been correctly setup with Nginx and PhpMyAdmin. The problem I'm running into is to do with the installation of Magento itself. I have the magento CMS in a /magento/ folder under the root directory of my sites folder "magento.dev" but when I go to install the CMS by entering "http://magento.dev/magento" I get redirected to "http://magento.dev/magento/index.php/install/" which I take is normal and shows the rewrites are working but the problem is I get a link appears to be broken error. I have also tried "http://magento.dev/magento/install.php" and several others but no luck.
I have edited the .htaccess to reflect magentos root folder by un-commenting "RewriteBase /magento/".
I have searched extensively for fixes to this issue but havnt really found anything of much use as of yet.
Hopefully you guys might be able to help me out.
Cheers.
the syntax for nginx configuration is different(but more clean) than apache.
you probably might be using apache2's configuration for nginx
PS : nginx configuration files are generally /etc/nginx/sites-available/websitename
