I cannot access to phpmyadmin after installing Jenkins

Question

to install jenkins, as the instructions I followed says, I had to create this virtual host:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName ci.company.com
    ServerAlias ci
    ProxyRequests Off
    <Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Proxy>
    ProxyPreserveHost on
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
</VirtualHost>

Now I cannot access anymore to http://localhost/phpmyadmin. It says:

Status Code: 404

Exception: Stacktrace: (none)

What should I do?

The VirtualHost seems to be overkill. Can you revert back to your old directive, then try accessing http://localhost:8080/ ? I suspect that you can access the "Jenkins" from :8080 without the special apache directive. — Tim, Dec 06 '11 at 18:24

You're currently redirecting ANY requests to localhost:80/ to localhost:8080/$1. That means localhost/phpmyadmin will be redirected to localhost:8080/pypmyadmin, which is clearly not what you want.

My recommendation is to create Jenkins on a context (i.e., /jenkins), which will allow you to update the ProxyPass to be:

ProxyPass /jenkins http://localhost:8080/jenkins

Tomcat will, by default, mount this on a Jenkins context, so I'm assuming you're running this using the built-in init script that came with your deploy. If this is the case, you'll need to add --prefix=/jenkins (or similar) to either /etc/sysconfig/jenkins, or append it to where you're manually running the server.

Subsequently, you could also ONLY pass in /jenkins, but you may run into issues with internal links; you can this via Apache like so (with no changes to Jenkins):

ProxyPass /jenkins http://localhost:8080/

Thanks! but why do yo mention Tomcat? I "think" I'm not using it.. — tirenweb, Dec 07 '11 at 15:19
Jenkins can run under a Java Application Server such as Tomcat, if you so choose. The new Jenkins packages include Winstone, which is also a JAS, but is bundled in with the package itself. By default, Tomcat mounts `NAME.war` on `/NAME`, but I wanted to cover my bases. :) — Andrew M., Dec 07 '11 at 16:40
