My machine is running arch linux.

if I uncomment this line in my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf :

 Include conf/extra/phpmyadmin.conf

phpmyadmin takes over my document root and when I go to localhost in my browser it just opens the phpmyadmin/index.php page and I no longer can access my projects in my DocumentRoot

but if I comment the above line in the server config, localhost opens my DocumentRoot and I can see all the php files and directories/projects I have created.

so for now I enable phpmyadim only to do the mysql things I want to do then disable it.

My question is : how can I enable phpmyadmin without it taking over my server ?

this is the /etc/httpd/conf/extra/phpmyadmin.conf file :

<VirtualHost pma.localhost:80>
 ServerAdmin phpmyadmin@apache.com
 DocumentRoot "/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin"
 ServerName pma.localhost
 ServerAlias pma.localhost
 ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/pma.localhost-error_log"

 <Directory "/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin">
 DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
 AllowOverride All
 Options FollowSymlinks
 Require all granted
 </Directory>
 </VirtualHost>

Alias /phpmyadmin "/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin"
<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin">
 DirectoryIndex index.php
 AllowOverride All
 Options FollowSymlinks
 Require all granted
 </Directory>

Your configuration looks strange to me but I've never worked with arch. I would suggest:

Method 1 (Reinstall):

1. Backup your MySQL Database!




2. pacman -Rns phpmyadmin




3. pacman -S phpmyadmin

Be sure to follow the installer steps on screen!

Method 2 (tinker with the configs):

1. Setup a FQHN for this machine


2. Make sure you actually setup VirtualHosts (your other projects) via
   sites-available/siteXY.conf and a2ensite siteXY.conf
   


3. Test the configuration made in 2.) to verify you can access at least
   two different sites in your browser (www.projectXY-1.intranet / www.project-XY-2.intranet)


4. Remove (comment or make backup before!) the VirtualHost-Section in
   your phpmyadmin.conf
   

2.) and 3.) are to make sure you the cause doesn't lie in a misconfigured apache2.

On the Arch Wiki you can also find examples how the phpmyadmin.conf should look like and other information.
