nginx, phpMyAdmin, mysql - can't access pages in shared folder

Hi all

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3

OMV 4.1.35.1

Arm v7

Needing to setup a simple web site at home to run some php code.

Followed this video :

only saw at the end it was OMV3, but it appears to work with OMV4 - sort of

Have updated the system, installed Plugins for mySQL and Nginx.

Created a shared folder 'www'

under ACL, permissions set to RW for Dave ( that's me ), adm, www-data and another www-data

General Settings Port for OMV was changed to '90' so as to not conflict with the nginx port 80.

Services > SMB - enabled for the www shared folder, and I can map to the folder from my win PC.

Services > mySQL enabled and I can browse to mySQL and login to mySQL.

Services > Nginx - Enabled and PHP ticked. URL shows as 192.168.1.135:80

Click on the URL and get a new browser tab with "Welcome to nginx" message.

phpMyAdmin - I can browse to http://192.168.1.135/phpmyadmin/ and get the login for phpMyAdmin, and can log in.

BUT - when I try and go to http://192.168.1.135/index.html all I get is the 'Welcome to Ginx" page. Not the index.html page that's in the shared www folder

IF - I go to Services > Nginx > Servers > Edit, and turn ON "Use root", Save & Apply, then I can see the correct page at http://192.168.1.135/index.html BUT then the phpMyAdmin page shows error 404 Not Found.

What am I missing ?

Putty terminal for php -v :

root@OMVpi1:/# php -v

PHP 7.0.33-0+deb9u9 (cli) (built: Aug 24 2020 11:14:22) ( NTS )

root@OMVpi1:/#

ok. I think this is working now

messing around with some google searches, and came across this :

First, remove the symlink you just created by running:

rm -rf /usr/share/nginx/www

That won’t delete phpMyAdmin, it’ll just delete the symlink. Now we’ll create a new one using:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/html/phpmyadmin

which I edited to :

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /sharedfolders/www/phpmyadmin

I can now browse to the myPhpAdmin page

Hope this helps someone else in the future
