Test web page looked like disappering by setting PHPMyAdmin application path to the document root

An web server is installed on my PC as a local host for experimental purpose.

The goal for the time being is implementing a tiny blog with function to post the title and the content of an article, and show articles that has been posted.

To manage posts, using a database like MySQL would be useful, and PHPMyAdmin, managing MySQL databases via your web browser, hasn't been installed on my environment.

In a few hours of attempt PHPMyAdmin was successfully installed, but there was a problem.

Although the test web pages I had created existed under the document root, but they became inaccessible. I tried to find out what was wrong, and I also tried to remove PHPMyAdmin.

I couldn't even find "trash" icon to remove it, later I found that it was hidden and by scrolling the console page to the right the icons to edit and remove became visible.

I removed PHPMyAdmin and installed again. On a process of setup to decide the virtual host and the path of the application, looking carefully, there was a caution like this, "setting application path to the document root may cause your existing web document inaccessible". I set up path and finished the setup. PHPMyAdmin has been running successfully so far, and the test pages I have made have become visible through my web browser again.
