I installed phpmyadmin in “/home/wwwroot/pma” and wordpress under  
“/home/wwwroot”  
but when I try to login to phpmyadmin, after i entered the password and  
username, it redirected me to my home page(which is served from  
wordpress)  
here is the screenshot of login similar to mine (except mine is in  
english) : [http://bbs.vpser.net/attachment.php?aid=826&noupdate=yes](http://bbs.vpser.net/attachment.php?aid=826&noupdate=yes)  
below is the rewrite rule for wordpress:

location / {  
if (-f $request\_filename/index.html){  
rewrite (._) $1/index.html break;  
}  
if (-f $request\_filename/index.php){  
rewrite (._) $1/index.php;  
}  
if (!-f $request\_filename){  
rewrite (.\*) /index.php;  
}  
}

can anyone help me and see what is wrong, really need phpmyadmin to  
manage the database. thank you

if i change the rewrite rule to the following, phpmyadmin will works  
fine, but then some of my wordpress url will stop working.  
location / {  
# This is cool because no php is touched for static  
content  
try\_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;  
}
