Cannot load phpmyadmin with apache2

  • 772

Running Debian Stretch 9.5 with apache2. After upgrading from Debian 8, I can no longer access phpmyadmin from http://localhost/phpmyadmin. I get a page not found error. Everything looks good on the apache config side:

  • apache2.conf contains IncludeOptional conf-enabled/*.conf
  • /etc/apache2/conf-enabled contains phpmyadmin.conf which symlinks to config in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
  • I purposefully introduced syntax error into phpmyadmin config file and reloaded apache and it choked as expected. So apache is definitely loading the config file.
  • Alias in config file is set to Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin which is where the phpmyadmin files are installed.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the phpmyadmin package but that didn't help. I followed the instructions in /usr/share/doc/phpmyadmin/README.debian.gz which said to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin but that didn't help either.

I think I'm overlooking something basic in my apache config but I'm not sure what. Thanks.

  1. My box was running with apache set to use Virtual hosts. I solved the problem by wrapping all the apache directives with a single directive in the /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf file like so:

    <VirtualHost *:80> <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin> ... </Directory> <Directory ...> ... </Directory> ... </VirtualHost>
