What exactly happens when I go to www.example.com/abc

until recently开发者_JS百科 I thought www.example.com/abc points to a directory which resides at web directory which is /var/wwww/html (for fedora). When I installed phpmyadmin through 'yum install' I couldn't find any phpmyadmin directory in /var/www/html but I can still access www.example.com/phpmyadmin. What exactly happens when I go to www.example.com/abc? where is this routing defined? in httpd.conf?? what happened when i installed phpmyadmin? Thanks in advance

search for

/etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf

&

/usr/share/phpmyadmin

as said in conf:

Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin

/phpmyadmin in this case is an Alias that points to a directory in /usr/share (e.g. /usr/share/phpmyadmin)
