Phpmyadmin 404 - Not Found error in lighttpd webserver

[golden3]

Every time I try to access http://localhost/phpmyadmin or http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php I get a 404 - Not Found. But, http://localhost/testphp.php working fine. I had Apache installed in the past but removed it and recently installed Lighttpd. I'm using centos 6.7 flavor of linux , Please let me know if more info is needed to help fix it and I will post it. Here is my lighttpd.conf. Thanks for the help

##
## Use IPv6?
##
server.use-ipv6 = "disable"

##
## bind to a specific IP
##
#server.bind = "localhost"

## Tuning/Performance
## --------------------
##
## corresponding documentation:
## http://www.lighttpd.net/documentation/performance.html
##
## set the event-handler (read the performance section in the manual)
##
## possible options on linux are:
##
## select
## poll
## linux-sysepoll
##
## linux-sysepoll is recommended on kernel 2.6.
##
server.event-handler = "linux-sysepoll"

##
## The basic network interface for all platforms at the syscalls read()
## and write(). Every modern OS provides its own syscall to help network
## servers transfer files as fast as possible
##
## sendfile - is recommended for small files.
## writev - is recommended for sending many large files
##
server.network-backend = "sendfile"

##
## As lighttpd is a single-threaded server, its main resource limit is
## the number of file descriptors, which is set to 1024 by default (on
## most systems).
##
## If you are running a high-traffic site you might want to increase this
## limit by setting server.max-fds.
##
## Changing this setting requires root permissions on startup. see
## server.username/server.groupname.
##
## By default lighttpd would not change the operation system default.
## But setting it to 2048 is a better default for busy servers.
##
## With SELinux enabled, this is denied by default and needs to be allowed
## by running the following once : setsebool -P httpd_setrlimit on
server.max-fds = 2048

##
## listen-backlog is the size of the listen() backlog queue requested when
## the lighttpd server ask the kernel to listen() on the provided network
## address. Clients attempting to connect() to the server enter the listen()
## backlog queue and wait for the lighttpd server to accept() the connection.
##
## The out-of-box default on many operating systems is 128 and is identified
## as SOMAXCONN. This can be tuned on many operating systems. (On Linux,
## cat /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn) Requesting a size larger than operating
## system limit will be silently reduced to the limit by the operating system.
##
## When there are too many connection attempts waiting for the server to
## accept() new connections, the listen backlog queue fills and the kernel
## rejects additional connection attempts. This can be useful as an
## indication to an upstream load balancer that the server is busy, and
## possibly overloaded. In that case, configure a smaller limit for
## server.listen-backlog. On the other hand, configure a larger limit to be
## able to handle bursts of new connections, but only do so up to an amount
## that the server can keep up with responding in a reasonable amount of
## time. Otherwise, clients may abandon the connection attempts and the
## server will waste resources servicing abandoned connections.
##
## It is best to leave this setting at its default unless you have modelled
## your traffic and tested that changing this benefits your traffic patterns.
##
## Default: 1024
##
#server.listen-backlog = 128

##
## Stat() call caching.
##
## lighttpd can utilize FAM/Gamin to cache stat call.
##
## possible values are:
## disable, simple or fam.
##
server.stat-cache-engine = "simple"

##
## Fine tuning for the request handling
##
## max-connections == max-fds/2 (maybe /3)
## means the other file handles are used for fastcgi/files
##
server.max-connections = 1024

##
## How many seconds to keep a keep-alive connection open,
## until we consider it idle.
##
## Default: 5
##
#server.max-keep-alive-idle = 5

##
## How many keep-alive requests until closing the connection.
##
## Default: 16
##
#server.max-keep-alive-requests = 16

##
## Maximum size of a request in kilobytes.
## By default it is unlimited (0).
##
## Uploads to your server cant be larger than this value.
##
#server.max-request-size = 0

##
## Time to read from a socket before we consider it idle.
##
## Default: 60
##
#server.max-read-idle = 60

##
## Time to write to a socket before we consider it idle.
##
## Default: 360
##
#server.max-write-idle = 360

##
## Traffic Shaping
## -----------------
##
## see /usr/share/doc/lighttpd/traffic-shaping.txt
##
## Values are in kilobyte per second.
##
## Keep in mind that a limit below 32kB/s might actually limit the
## traffic to 32kB/s. This is caused by the size of the TCP send
## buffer.
##
## per server:
##
#server.kbytes-per-second = 128

##
## per connection:
##
#connection.kbytes-per-second = 32

## SSL Support
## -------------
##
## To enable SSL for the whole server you have to provide a valid
## certificate and have to enable the SSL engine.::
##
## ssl.engine = "enable"
## ssl.pemfile = "/path/to/server.pem"
##
## The HTTPS protocol does not allow you to use name-based virtual
## hosting with SSL. If you want to run multiple SSL servers with
## one lighttpd instance you must use IP-based virtual hosting: ::
##
## Mitigate CVE-2009-3555 by disabling client triggered renegotation
## This is enabled by default.
##
## IMPORTANT: this setting can only be used in the global scope.
## It does *not* work inside conditionals
##
# ssl.disable-client-renegotiation = "enable"
##
## $SERVER["socket"] == "10.0.0.1:443" {
## ssl.engine = "enable"
## ssl.pemfile = "/etc/ssl/private/www.example.com.pem"
## #
## # (Following SSL/TLS Deployment Best Practices 1.3 / 17 September 2013 from:
## # https://www.ssllabs.com/projects/best-p ... index.html)
## # - BEAST is considered mitigaed on client side now, and new weaknesses have been found in RC4,
## # so it is strongly advised to disable RC4 ciphers (HIGH doesn't include RC4)
## # - It is recommended to disable 3DES too (although disabling RC4 and 3DES breaks IE6+8 on Windows XP,
## # so you might want to support 3DES for now - just remove the '!3DES' parts below).
## # - The examples below prefer ciphersuites with "Forward Secrecy" (and ECDHE over DHE (alias EDH)), remove '+kEDH +kRSA'
## # if you don't want that.
## # - SRP and PSK are not supported anyway, excluding those ('!kSRP !kPSK') just keeps the list smaller (easier to review)
## # Check your cipher list with: openssl ciphers -v '...' (use single quotes as your shell won't like ! in double quotes)
## #
## # If you know you have RSA keys (standard), you can use:
## ssl.cipher-list = "PROFILE=SYSTEM"
## # The more generic version (without the restriction to RSA keys) is
## # ssl.cipher-list = "HIGH !aNULL !3DES +kEDH +kRSA !kSRP !kPSK"
## #
## # Make the server prefer the order of the server side cipher suite instead of the client suite.
## # This option is enabled by default, but only used if ssl.cipher-list is set.
## #
## # ssl.honor-cipher-order = "enable"
## #
## server.name = "www.example.com"
##
## server.document-root = "/srv/www/vhosts/example.com/www/"
## }
##

## If you have a .crt and a .key file, cat them together into a
## single PEM file:
## $ cat /etc/ssl/private/lighttpd.key /etc/ssl/certs/lighttpd.crt \
## > /etc/ssl/private/lighttpd.pem
##
#ssl.pemfile = "/etc/ssl/private/lighttpd.pem"

##
## optionally pass the CA certificate here.
##
##
#ssl.ca-file = ""

I have attached the reference picture

That's a nice 404 you have there.

Where have you installed phpmyadmin? Judging by your configuration (server.document-root = server_root + "/htdocs"), it should be at /var/www/htdocs/phpmyadmin. If you have it elsewhere, you will need to write some sort of a rewrite rule to redirect the requests to the correct physical path.

[ambiorixg12]

A symbolic link of phpmyamdin files to the root folder should also fix the issue
