[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

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

Try this

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Run the following command in terminal:

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

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.

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!
