What to do to get phppgadmin working?

[7]

I installed postgres and phppgadmin debian unstable
(on ProMepis RC4) but I can't seem to access it.

I type http://localhost/phppgadmin
and it says file not found.
Look in /var/www and sure enough, its not there and neither
are any files relating to the phppgadmin.

How do I get this thing to work?

The package has been installed, though not
sure where its all gone into and what URL I should
type in get access to it.

Thanks

By default, Apache requires you to add the trailing slash at the end of
a URL if you want to access a directory. For instance

http://localhost/phppgadmin/

instead of

http://localhost/phppgadmin

did not work unfortunately, the /var/www/ directory
does not contain anything related to phppgadmin
(after installation) for anything like that to work.
(The php4 is working as I can run test scripts.)

the folder needs to be in /var/www/htdocs/
As a workaround
ln -s /var/www/phppgadmin /var/www/htdocs/phppgadmin

however, read the docs, there might be a reason for the way they have
installed
also, you could edit httpd.conf

It gets curios by the minute - I didn't try above, but I did
find the /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpgadmin link
to file /etc/phppgadmin/apache.conf and it says in there

Alias /phppgadmin /usr/share/phppgadmin/
<DirectoryMat ch /usr/share/phppgamin/>

Which I assume means that

http://localhost/phppgadmin/

should map to the /usr/share/phppgadmin/ directory
and the default index.php file installed there should run.

But no such luck!
http://localhost/phppgadmin/index.php does not work either.

Try

Alias /phppgadmin/ /usr/share/phppgadmin/

Match your trailing slashes!

No luck still.
Tried many different combinations, including putting the
commands into apach2.conf and restarting apache
every time - still nothing.

It should work.

At this point I suggest you ask in the Apache mailing lists. It doesn't
look to be a PHP question - rather it looks like Apache configuration.
