when viewing php or index file, browser ask to save!

Howdy,

It sounds like you may need to create a Virtual Server... if you log into Virtualmin, choose "Create Virtual Server".

Create one, then install phpMyAdmin in it (that'll be in /home/USERNAME/public_html).

After that, you should be able to browse to that Virtual Server, and it should execute your PHP correctly.

-Eric

Howdy,

Once you have a Virtual Server, you'll have a dir such as "/home/USERNAME/public_html". Any files in that public_html directory become part of your website.

So, actually performing the installation is a matter of following the phpMyAdmin installation instructions, but you'd want to put it somewhere within the public_html dir.

You can find the download link and installation instructions on the phpMyAdmin site:

http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php

Howdy,

Well, that's one of the reasons some folks enjoy the Pro version of Virtualmin so much... it makes installation of things like phpMyAdmin simple and seamless :-) One click, and it's done!

However, I did some searching on Google, and came up with this wiki link here that contains phpMyAdmin installation instructions:

http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Quick_Install

Howdy,

Well, first off, the link you shared above is for Cloudmin, not Virtualmin... if you do end up purchasing Virtualmin Pro, make sure you buy Virtualmin and not Cloudmin :-)

You can see a list of differences between the GPL and Pro versions of Virtualmin here:

http://www.virtualmin.com/compare.html

Also, you can see a demo of it here:

https://www.virtualmin.com/demo

And it comes with a 45 day money back guarantee.

The thing that you might be particularly interested in are the "Install Scripts". There's 80+ web apps available that you can install just by clicking a button, which makes it all super-easy.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Have a good one!

-Eric

Thanks again so I will be able to install and run websites for testing and also host them

Well, just to clarify -- you can host websites and such using the GPL version of Virtualmin. The Pro version comes with some additional features, and tries to make your life a bit simpler by doing some of the hard parts for you.

Also the https://www.virtualmin.com/demo is DOWN not loading..

Nuts... yeah, sometimes some clowns go in there and break things. I believe it's setup to fix itself every few hours. You might just want to try again in a bit.

one final question I need the Zend engine to work on this does this have this plugin or script to get this to work?

The Zend engine will work, though there's unfortunately no plugin/script to do that for you. So that one would need to be installed manually.

-Eric

I think that I will go with it and just get the Pro version that way as you say It will be easier and i can always ask for help if needed?

Sounds good! Again, it does come with a money back guarantee, so if you're unhappy, simply say so and you'll be reimbursed the purchase cost.

As far as Support goes -- officially, what you can expect help with is Virtualmin and the related things it sets up. If something Virtualmin sets up doesn't work, let us know! If you're not sure where to find something, we'll help you figure out where it is. You can also make bug reports and feature requests. If you're working with Virtualmin and come up with an idea that you'd like to see in it -- let us know! Jamie is pretty responsive to those sorts of things :-)

While we can't fully administer all aspects of your system for you, we also want you to see you succeed. So if you have questions, just ask away and we'll do our best to help :-)

I'm not familiar with what's involved as part of the installation of Zend... if it's installer is asking you questions you don't know the answer to, go ahead and ask here. I unfortunately don't know off the top of my head how to go about installing it though.

I hope that helps answer your questions!

-Eric

You can see your license and serial # here:

http://virtualmin.com/serial/

While you could uninstall your current copy, an even simpler way to getting going with the Pro version would be to have it perform an in-place upgrade. There should be an option for upgrading Virtualmin on the bottom-left of the navigation menu when you log into Virtualmin.

-Eric

Ahh, I see, it looks like it's still waiting for your payment to go through.

So yeah, hopefully that goes through soon and you can do your upgrade!

-Eric

Well, it's often immediate... so if it's not immediate, it's hard to say, it depends on what the problem is.

What payment type did you use?

-Eric

-Eric

Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to check or cancel orders, Joe will need to do that.

What you'll want to do is file a request using the Support link at the top of the site, and in there, mention that you used the wrong Paypal account and would like to cancel order #3283.

-Eric

Howdy,

When you click the "Support" button above, see where it says "Step #2"? That contains a link labeled "bugs and issues tracker". Click that and you can file a support request.

As far as where the php.ini file goes -- each Virtual Server has an individual php.ini. It's located in $HOME/etc/php.ini.

For example, if your username is "foo", the php.ini for that user would be located in "/home/foo/etc/php.ini".

-Eric

but were is Apatche stored??

That's a trick question :-)

Apache is made up of hundreds of files all across the filesystem... so it's difficult to say "Apache is stored here".

So, rather than answering that, I'll ask you a question... what problem are you trying to solve? :-) If you explain what exactly you're trying to do, I may be of more assistance.

-Eric

On Ubuntu, the full path to the Apache control utility is:

/usr/sbin/apachectl

it keeps asking for the installation location of apache executable. the full path to the apatche binary (httpd)

That's located here:

/usr/sbin/apache2

Well, I'm not really familiar with the installation of Zend, so it's difficult to know what exactly is going wrong...

However, on Ubuntu, the Apache executable is "/usr/sbin/apache2" by default.

At what point is it saying no such file or directory? Which question had you just answered?
