Error when trying to use PhpMyAdmin

[jim.thornton]

I have just gotten everything on my VPS setup. Zend Optimizer is installed, XCache too.

I'm trying to migrate my site to my new VPS and I created a mysql database in DA. Then I clicked on phpMyAdmin to try and upload a backup that I have but I got an error:

Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.

How can I fix this?

What does it say in your apache error log?

/var/log/http/error_log
/var/log/http/domains/yourdomain.com.error.log

/var/log/httpd/domains/mydomain.com.error.log is empty.

Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.

Run this command to make sure that Php works:
php -v

and this command to see a list of compiled modules:
php -m

If these are good and error(s) free, re-install PhpMyAdmin. If none of this worked, re-compile Php and make sure you do not get errors throughout the process.

I know that PHP is working because I can display PHP files on my accounts via http. That being said, I ran the commands you said and they worked fine. PHP is compiled with mysql support.

I didn't install phpmyadmin in the first place, I assumed it was done by DA. So, how do I re-install it?

Thanks for the help. I just ran /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build phpmyadmin

Everything works fine now!
