[apache] phpmyadmin "Not Found" after install on Apache, Ubuntu

Setting up a development environment with Ubuntu 14.04 running in VirtualBox, following this guide: http://klau.si/dev

After installing phpmyadmin, it seems I should be able to access it at http://localhost/phpmyadmin but apache returns a Not Found error. Did this guide leave out a configuration step somewhere? I have already tried restarting the apache service.

There is no phpmyadmin.conf file in apache2/sites-enabled or apache2/sites-available, is this required?

If so, where can I find these files?

using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost returns the same error. The default apache page at http://localhost works just fine.

the console in the browser shows nothing of value, simply Not Found.

I have also tried rerunning the install script with dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin

Create a link in /var/www like this:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/

Note: since 14.04 you may want to use /var/www/html/ instead of /var/www/

If that's not working for you, you need to include PHPMyAdmin inside apache configuration.

Open apache.conf using your favorite editor, mine is nano :)

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Then add the following line:

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

For Ubuntu 15.04 and 16.04

sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo a2enconf phpmyadmin.conf
sudo service apache2 reload

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin 

Select No when asked to reconfigure the database. Then when asked to choose apache2, make sure to hit space while [ ] apache2 is highlighted. An asterisk should appear between the brackets. Then hit Enter. Phpmyadmin should reconfigure and now http://localhost/phpmyadmin should work. for further detail https://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-ubuntu-13.04-lamp

I had the same issue where these fixes didn't work.

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 using hestiaCP with Nginx.

Today after adding

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

into both Apache and Nginx, Nginx failed to restart. It was having an issue with "proxy_buffers" value.

Yesterday I had to modify the Nginx config to add and increase these values so Magento 2.4 would run. Today I altered "proxy_buffers" again

proxy_buffers            3 64k;
proxy_buffer_size        128k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size  128k;

After the second alteration and the removal of "Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf" from both Apache and Nginx, Magento 2.4 and PHPMyAdmin are working as expected.

If you are having this problem in 2019, go to your 000-default.conf file, by typing this subl /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf (in your terminal to open the file in sublime editor)

When the file loads, locate "The ServerName directive sets the request scheme" and place this "Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf" on top .

Then restart your apache with the command...service apache2 restart That will certainly fix the issue. Hope it helps!

Try this

sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo a2enconf phpmyadmin.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Finally I got the solution

sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo a2enconf phpmyadmin
sudo service apache2 reload

You will need to configure your apache2.conf to make phpMyAdmin works.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Then add the following line to the end of the file.

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Then restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart

The easiest way to do in ubuntu (I tested in ubuntu-20.04):

Step 1. Open the file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Step 2: Add the following line at the end of file:

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Step 3: Restart apache2:

sudo systemctl restart apache2.service

Hopefully, it'll be helpful!

Create a link in /var/www/html like this to fix the error:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html

Run the following command in terminal:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/

sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/phpmyadmin

sudo service apache2 restart

Run above commands issue will be resolved.

First check PhpMyAdmin is install or not. If it is installed then search PhpMyadmin folder. After search cut and paste that folder in location Computer->var->www->html->paste folder. Open browser and type localhost/phpMyAdmin and login using username and password.

It seems like sometime during the second half of 2018 many php packages such as php-mysql and phpmyadmin were removed or changed. I faced that same problem too. So you'll have to download it from another source or find out the new packages
