I try to install phpmyadmin to work with nginx in my archilnux box but I seem have some problem. The steps below is exactly what I've done : 

sudo pacman -S phpmyadmin

Then I create a symbolic link use exactly like the wiki: 

sudo ln -s /usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin /srv/http/<domain>/public_html/phpmyadmin

curl return : 

curl -I http://localhost/phpmyadmin
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx/1.0.5
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2011 16:57:54 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 184
Location: http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
Connection: keep-alive

What I receive when I try to access through chromium : 

Server error
The website encountered an error while retrieving http://localhost/phpmyadmin/. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

Error log :

I hope someone can help me about this problem :)

This is resolved by : add /usr/share/webapps to open_basedir in php.ini :)

    With what problem? What happens when you go to localhost/phpmyadmin in a browser? That redirect adds a / which is probably valid.

  • Okay, so next step, post the error log from nginx.

So I think it's pretty clear,

2011/08/17 02:42:48 [error] 31015#0: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP Warning: require_once(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin/libraries/common.inc.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/) in /usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin/index.php on line 33

As per Martin F's comment - check your php-fpm or php.ini settings to make sure it can execute stuff in that path.

    It's not in the nginx config. Nginx neither embeds nor configures PHP, it simply sends requests to it via fastcgi. You need to configure this in either php-fpm or in your php.ini.
