I've spent too much time googling and trying so many things, but I cannot get it to work.

I did as said in this guide also: http://library.linode.com/databases/mys ... 0-maverick

I simply cannot access http://mydomain.com/phpmyadmin

Could this be a folder permission problem? the permission is:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2011-02-03 22:38 phpmyadmin -> /usr/share/phpmyadmin

//Wasseem

What happens when you try to access it?

Also you gave the permissions of a symbolic link you need the permissions of the actual directory so give us the output of

ls -l /usr/share/phpmyadmin

OK well 1) indicates it's not a permission problem, it's either your web server isn't running, your firewall is blocking access or your dns isn't working.

What's your real domain and IP?

obs, thanks for the responses..
I've actually fixed the issue from some help on IRC..

The issue was because I did not configure SSL for my Apache server.
I did as shown here: http://library.linode.com/web-servers/a ... ertificate

And it's now working fine.
Cheers!
