phpmyadmin installation failure
« on: February 21, 2012, 04:04:30 PM »
When trying to install phpmyadmin using yum I get the following message:

[root@server8 ~]# yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-phpmyadmin
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, protect-packages, smeserver

Setting up Install Process
No package smeserver-phpmyadmin available.
Nothing to do
[root@server8 ~]#


Have I done something wrong or is the package really not available?
I have used this before on my other server.

Thanks.

By the root prompt server name I assume you are using sme8beta7
You need to configure the repositories to read the sme7.x contribs repo as sme8 repos are still empty at this point in time.

sme8 is still beta software, so you need to stay in touch with development activities.
The best way to do this is to regularly read the sme 8 wiki articles which are linked to from the very top of this page
http://wiki.contribs.org/Main_Page
which takes you to
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8
which takes you to
For testing of contribs in advance of release see SME8.0 Contribs QA
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#Setup

Please search before asking, an answer may already exist.
The Search & other links to useful information are at top of Forum.

Mary,

Thank you for your reply and advice.
I am indeed using SME8beta7 on this particular server as I need to do some tests on a client's proposed web site/database that uses sime features in sme8 that are not in sme7. (My normal servers are sme7 and the client's proposed website is hosted on a completely different linux server which is not under my control).

I took your advice and went to the last link that you gave me,
      http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#Setup

and followed the instruction to create a repo named sme7contribs.

The first command line executed OK but the second failed:

[root@server8 ~]# db yum_repositories set sme7contribs repository
[root@server8~]# GPGCheck yes
-bash: GPGCheck: command not found
 


My sme8 beta7 is a fresh installation.

Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance

Alex

Thank you Stefano.

I cut and pasted as you suggested and all went well.
I then successfully installed phpMyAdmin.

Cheers,
Alex
