[10:25] <simonf_> Morning, could someone give me advice on configuring apache2.conf file for phpmyadmin?
[10:25] <coalwater> simonf_,  ur apache isn't working ?
[10:25] <simonf_> I've tried using VI and also a text editor but whatever I do it says I don't have permissions to change the file
[10:26] <simonf_> It's my server, installed ubuntu 11.04 yesterday
[10:26] <simonf_> and I'm only user
[10:26] <simonf_> do I need to log in as root?
[10:26] <simonf_> apache's working
[10:26] <simonf_> but can't get to http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[10:46] <coalwater> simonf_, run the gedit or whichever editor u are using with gksudo
[10:46] <coalwater> like gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (for example)
[10:47] <coalwater> or sudo vi if you prefer
[10:48] <coalwater> and i know what your problem is, let me find how i fixed it
[10:49] <coalwater> try this
[10:49] <coalwater> sudo ln -sf /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/phpmyadmin
[10:50] <simonf_> thanks coalwater
[10:50] <simonf_> just trying it now
[11:00] <simonf_> thanks Coalwater, all sorted....
[11:01] <simonf_> I'm new to Ubuntu, normally set up apache on server 2003, so this is first time with LAMP

[11:02] <simonf_> Nice to know how to edit files now so thanks for help
[12:00] <KleinM> Hi, I downloaded my graphics card drivers from the nvidia website, because it didn't show at System->Administration->Hardware Drivers.  So I installed it but now when I boot into Ubuntu, I get an error that says that Ubuntu is now in low-graphic mode and I still can't activate the extra effects at Appearance.  Anyone knows how to fix this?

[12:02] <ubot2> KleinM: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support.
[12:02] <KleinM> ok, sorry....
[21:43] <gack> I've installed Ubuntu and it said it was successful. When I tried to restart it with the USB out nothing happened. I've reinstalled it and it's the same. Then I tried to run it in rescue mode by entering 'rescue' at the boot prompt screen. It didn't do anything. Rescue mode doesn't come up in my start up list when I try to start the computer with the USB in. Any ideas?
[21:45] <geirha> Do you have multiple harddrives in that computer?
[21:51] <gack> no, just the one
