Holy crap I can’t tell you how useful this was for me. I’ve been bumbling through the AWS web interface for about a month, and in a little over an hour I got my site up and running thanks to you.

If you’re ever in New York City, I’ll buy you a drink, I owe you for this.

mynab, “Listen 8080″ is correct. I’ve added that to the post.

OK. Do not know if I got it right but just adding Listen 8080 in httpd.conf fixed my issue.

Hi. Thanks for the procedure. Worked like a charm except that I cannot access my admin stuff on 8080. I updated the security group to add 8080 (HTTP*) and my httpd.conf with:

DocumentRoot /opt/app/phpmyadmin
….

Restarted httpd but to no avail. If I use the :80 host to access /opt/app/phpmyadmin it works like a charm. What am I missing?

Thanks!

Mark, you want to run
sudo chown ec2-user /opt/app/current
to give your ec2-user permissions to edit those files.

I added a note about this in the post.

Thanks – was great help. The only thing that i tripped up on was that i can only FTP files to the /home/ec2-user folder, and then sudo mv them to where I want them. I was trying to put them directly where i needed them in FileZilla. Not a problem when i know to do it

Julius, it sounds like either your httpd.conf isn’t correct, your Security Group isn’t allowing traffic over port 8080, or you haven’t unzipped PMA correctly.

To make sure the issue isn’t with PMA, try just putting a simple index.html file in /opt/app/admin. Also make sure you’ve restarted Apache after editing httpd.conf.

Hi, thanks so much for providing this tutorial.

I am stuck at the PHPmyAdmin setup. I’ve followed all the instruction to the detail and it still says error “The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.”

So you said we have to unzip everything into folder /opt/app/admin/pma.

When I access from http
http://MyIP.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080 , will it try to access the file /opt/app/admin/pma/index.php ?

Please advise.

David, thanks for pointing out the error – that was definitely my mistake. Sorry about the frustration I’m sure that caused.

I updated the post, but using the object-oriented style (versus procedural) and fetch_assoc() instead of fetch_row().
