Hi I'm currently working on setting up a VirtualHost on Amazon EC2 for accessing phpmyadmin so i can access it with test.example.com as oppose to it being widely available as it's default example.com/phpmyadmin.

So far I've created a file "testfile" in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ with the code below and enabled it "a2ensite testfile" However I'm not getting the vhost to work

<VirtualHost *:80>
            ServerAdmin [email protected]

            ServerName test.example.com
            ServerAlias test.example.com

            #DocumentRoot /usr/share/phpmyadmin
            DocumentRoot /home/user/public_html/folder

            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !test.example.com
            RewriteRule (.*) [L]


            <Directory /home/user/public_html/folder>

                    Options FollowSymLinks
                    DirectoryIndex index.php
                    AllowOverride None

                            AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

     # Authorize for setup
            <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup>
                <IfModule mod_authn_file.c>
                AuthType Basic
                AuthName "phpMyAdmin Setup"
                AuthUserFile /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup
                </IfModule>
                Require valid-user
            </Directory>

            # Disallow web access to directories that don't need it
            <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries>
                Order Deny,Allow
                Deny from All
            </Directory>
            <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup/lib>
                Order Deny,Allow
                Deny from All
            </Directory>

            ErrorLog /home/user/public_html/folder/logs/error.log
            LogLevel warn
            CustomLog /home/user/public_html/folder/logs/access.log combined

    </VirtualHost>

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /home/user/public_html/folder

The above line creates a link of the phpmyadmin in the public folder.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Note: example.com will be replaced with my official domain
