I was getting the Object not found error as shown in the screen shot while clicking the phpmyadmin link. Apache and SQL server had got started from the xampp console.

Solution: I uninstalled and installed again after deleting all the files and folders of xampp from C drive. Also, this time, I installed just the Apache and the SQL server. After this, phpmyadmin link started to work.

when I started xampp on my windows 10 there were many options available  unfortunately every one of them failed  I ll list them so that you don t go through all of them again   THINGS THAT DIDN T WORK  1  i installed xampp initially in a different drive and not c because of UAC         issues so i uninstalled Xampp and installed it again in c  didn t work  2  while reinstalling i deactivated the antivirus as setup said that some    installing might not end up properly realized it doesn t matter    lmao  3  i tried to change ports several times of xampp from 80 to some different number like 8080 etc  still nothing happened  4  i then tried using firefox  as it is believed that internet explorer or internet edge is not a good browser for xampp 5  after that i went to config file i e config inc inside phpmyadmin folder  and did some crap as were given in the instructions  Failure it was 6  then i closed laptop and went to sleep XD srry leave this point  7   then i tried searching for windows web services in the services msc to disable it  i couldn t find it  WHAT WORKED  On eighth time i got success This is what i did  8 In control panel  where you have actions   modules PIDs  Ports you will see  Services under which you will see gray boxes which are actually checkboxes but are empty initially  i checked it so that xampp services start and apache services start  now you will see them ticked    After that just change the port of xampp and apache to 80   I hope it helps  cheers

Try starting MySQL and Apache in Xampp  Verify Port Number assigned to Apache  By default it should be 80   Now load localhost phpmyadmin  It solved my problem

Same Object Not Found problem here - both in Xampp as well as in Wamp  It turns out the root name of  phpmyadmin  was  PhpMyAdmin   I got rid of all the capitals  renaming the folder to  phpmyadmin   and after a couple of reloads phpmyadmin was working

All I had to do was load localhost 80 phpmyadmin and then the browser figured it out  After that  localhost phpmyadmin worked

did you try  localhost phpmyadmin     notice the lowercase   PHPMyAdmin tends to have inconsistent directory names across its versions distributions   Edit  Confirm the URL by checking the name of the root folder   If the config was the primary issue  and it may still be nthary  you would get a php error  not a http  Object not found  error    As for the config error  here are some steps to correct it    Once you have confirmed which case your PHPMyAdmin is in  confirm that your config inc php is located in its root directory   If it is  rename it to something else as a backup  Then copy the config sample inc php  in the same directory  and rename it to config inc php Check if it works  If its does  then open up both the new config inc php  that works  and the backup you took earlier of your old one  Compare them and copy replace the important parts that you want to carry over  the file  in its default state  isn t that long and it should be relatively easy to do so    N B  If the reason that you want your old config is because of security setup that you once had  I would definitely suggest still using the security wizard built into XAMPP so that you can be assured that you have the right configuration for the right version  There is no guarantee that different XAMPP PHPMyAdmin versions implement security anything in the same way   XAMPP Security Wizard  http   localhost security xamppsecurity php

STOP ALL SERVICES OF XAMPP  Edit Apache httpd conf  file  1  Listen 80   if its already 80  and not working then replace it by 81 2   ServerName localhost 80  if its already 80  and not working then replace it by 81 SAVE EXIT RESTART  WINDOWS USER run as administrator
