try apt-get install phpmyadmin its much easier than manual, unless you wanna mod a bunch of files, then restart the apache2 service.
imma head to bed but if that works for you
and you log into phpmyadmin click on the dbo database on the left, then on the menu on the top right where it says import, click that and import the dbo.sql file 343 gave you, then it should load the page.
good luck
Yeah....
The reason I installed it manually is because I cant seem to get internet to virtualbox.
I am connected to the router with a bridged connection and with port forwarding friends can connect to the server by using my WAN IP so i'm not really quite sure what is wrong....
I was thinking it could be something to do with the router and port forwarding as in the /etc/network/interfaces file I have it configured with an IP address assigned straight from the router. So it isn't an internal network in my computer at all so i'm thinking it doesn't really fall under connection sharing as it connects straight to the router.
you may need to forward your port for your server as well in the server
ufw is a good way to do so
example
ufw allow 22
this allow ssh connections to the server
3036 for phpmyadmin
80 for webserver
and so on but if it lets you go to most of the ports then it might not be enabled and wouldnt need to be worried about.
thats why i prefer either from scratch virtual servers and fresh real servers xd.
What port does apt-get use though? That's what I really need to get working, the others are all good with the server allowing them and the ones that I want to be able to be accessed from outside my network have been forwarded with the router.
I have basically been just using hrace's vbox image for experimentation and learning how it all works before I take the plunge and set up my own one.
it doesnt require a port to be opened, type apt-get update
then after if it has no errors, such as ign and stuff
do apt-get install
i personally dont like using other server images, id say the best one out there is 343's server image, and if you wanna make a server from a normal ubuntu or server image try out my "very detailed ubuntu server guide" so far ive heard 343's guide is alot more simpler than mine and quicker to set up so dunno o.o.
Apt-get update just constantly tries to connect to ubuntu and fails making me think I need to forward a port as im the server does connect to the router and other friends making me think that it does have internet.
Either that or it could be a vbox configration or connection sharing issue but I don't think so...

If you used hrace009's vbox release DNS config is incorrect and needs to be fixed.Quote:

Check the network config in vbox itself, you can use it's built in NAT just fine and use vbox port forwarding to do some magic with that (my most recent VM's use this over bridging mostly because I prefer this method for handling firewalls (better to run firewall separate from OS if possible and Amazon EC2 works like this))
