I am using ubuntu-11.04.

I followed these steps on this site:

So far my apache2, php, and mysql are working fine except phpmyadmin... Whenever I run this:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

I get this error on my browser:

Not Found

The requested URL /phpmyadmin/ was not found on this server.

Apache/2.2.17 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

    Please read this section in Ubuntu wiki. You will need to configure your apache2.conf to make phpMyAdmin works.

    gksu gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

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

    Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

    Then restart apache 

    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

  2. Tried various different ways.

    Finally this, this from ubuntu documentation, worked for me:

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

    After installing and setting up user and password in mysql and phpmyadmin execute following command

    sudo apt install php-gettext

  6. You need to find where phpmyadmin is located, e.g. locate phpmyadmin, some it will return the location, such as /usr/share/phpmyadmin.

    Then you can symlink it like this: sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www

    Starting Ubuntu 14.04 and up, /var/www is no longer work instead /var/www/html. e.g, sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html

    Reference: Where to place my local website starting with the 2.4.7 version of apache2?

  7. sudo sed -i '$ a\Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf' /etc/apache2/apache2.conf && sudo service apache2 restart && sudo apt-get install php-gettext`

    Tested and works. Running that should solve it for anyone who wants a 1 liner.

  8. I tried all the above methods and they didn't work for me. Finally this one worked.

    Open terminal and switch to super user using the command: sudo su

    After installing phpmyadmin using instructions given in the link, open /etc/apache2/conf-available.

    You will find a file there named phpmyadmin.conf. Copy it to /etc/apache2/conf-enabled. Or simply use the command

    sudo cp /etc/apache2/conf-available /etc/apache2/conf-enabled

    Restart apache2 (sudo service apache2 restart) and then open the link localhost/phpmyadmin in a browser.

  9. finally this work for ubuntu 14.04 LTS

    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

    now type localhost/phpmyadmin in web browser.

  10. I was facing the same problem.

    Firstly check if the directory called /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ exists. If it does, just move it to /var/www/phpmyadmin by executing this command:

    mv /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin

    Open your browser and open http://localhost/phpmyadmin. Now it should work.
