I just installed postgresql, php5 and in particular PhpPgAdmin using Ubuntu's synaptic app. The PHP is running fine, the http server (lighttpd) is working fine, and I can do pg a the command line. The only thing that remains a mystery is PhpPgAdmin - just how does one fire it up to use it? I am clueless about the proper means of starting PhpPgAdmin; it isn't explained anywhere on the site for it. I tried typing phppgadmin at a bash command prompt, and entering "http://phppgsdmin/" and "http://localhost/phppgadmin" as wild guesses in the address bar in a browser - nothing happens. What is the secret?

BTW, i'm only serving http on localhost, doing purely private web development.

Did you make Apache aware of PhpPgAdmin? You need to include the following line in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

Include /etc/phppgadmin/apache.conf

You may also need to restart Apache for it to spring up:

sudo service apache2 reload

You should then be able to access PhpPgAdmin from the following address:

http://localhost/PhpPgAdmin

I'm not using apache. Does it have to run even if i'm already using lightppd? – DarenW Apr 17 '11 at 2:35
Sorry, my bad, I missed you weren't using Apache. I'll post another answer if I figure it out for lighttpd. – Gareth Apr 17 '11 at 3:08
If there's a way to run two http servers at the same time, maybe that'll be easiest just to get the darn thing up for use. – DarenW Apr 17 '11 at 3:59
