Lighttpd and phpmyadmin 404 not found

[Lisa Kachold]

Hi there, how are you?

You just need to fix your rewrite line:

#### url handling modules (rewrite, redirect, access)
# url.rewrite                 = ( "^/$"             => "/server-status"
)
# url.redirect                = ( "^/wishlist/(.+)" =>
"http://www.localhost.localdomain/$1" )

You can also hack how your site displays via an entry in your /etc/hosts
file and a hostname that resolve as 127.0.0.1 or whatever your DHCP address
is.

So you just add an entry:

127.0.0.1       localhost localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1       hack.me.microsoft.com

That matches whatever your "real site" will be.

192.168.1.6     hack.me.microsoft.com localhost.localdomain

When you restart your server, your web daemon will match this to your
rewrite line.

There's a whole lot you can do with your /etc/hosts file to exclude 3rd
party cookies, develop in the "real IP address" for those of you with DNS or
hardcoded URL limitations.

Just set this to the directory above your DocumentRoot.

This is your breakage, set it to something that matches the hostname, exists
in /etc/hosts and resolves from whereever you are browsing from.

And when your code is ready, run Rapid 7 Community edition web scanner
