Problem with root account and internet access
Sponsored Link
I'm an absolute beginner with Ubuntu server setting up, so please guide me through a problem that I have at the moment when setting up my first Ubuntu server.
I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my server. There are 2 issues I can't solve with this new server:
- when I login using the administrator account, I can configure proxy to be able accessing the Internet. However, with exact set up, I can not accessing the Internet when using root account.
- Could someone please show me how to install phpMyadmin on the Ubuntu server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Did you install LAMP server or just basic server version
2) apt-get install phpmyadmin
this will install phpmyadmin you can access http://serverip/phpmyadmin/
While logged in as root, run this command from the terminal:
export HTTP_PROXY=”http://192.168.0.1:8080″
Where http://192.168.0.1:8080 is the location and port of your proxy.
If you can browse after doing that, stick it in your /root/.bashrc or /root/.bash_profile file.
Why would you want to surf as root? Not necessarily the most secure thing to do. Best to access the internet as an unprivileged user on your PC
