    Did you use the package manager to install phpMyAdmin or did you install it from source? If you did install it using the package manager a configuration should already be in place but could be disabled. Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin for an Ubuntu specific explanation. This is how you can configure Apache to make phpMyAdmin available if you installed it from source:

    Use the Alias directive in the Apache configuration to make phpMyAdmin available without placing it withing the DocumentRoot. This is how it should look like:

    Alias /phpmyadmin /path/to/phpmyadmin

    Please take a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/mod/mod_alias.html#alias. Also note the explanation about granting access using a <Directory> section when you get a "Forbidden" error and make sure the file system permissions are correct.

  2. These may seem obvious but:

    • Try /phpmyadmin/ rather than /phpmyadmin
    • Make sure you have restarted apache after installing phpmyadmin

    Good luck!
