I'm trying to figure out why my install of phpmyAdmin to a ubuntu machine on a google compute didn't work and then did.
I started by installing phpMyAdmin manually on vm1 it worked well. I used a snapshot of the disk from before the installation of phpMyAdmin and spun up a new vm. This vm had a different ip but ostensibly the same. In vm2, I tried the manual install that worked earlier in the day and received a timeout error. Next, I tried the package installer version of phpMyAdmin. It wasn't timing out but my root dB password didn't work. I left my system for ~1, came back, and everything was working again. What could be vm2's problem?
