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

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

Don't panic ! Just run the following code with root permission in terminal

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

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?

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.

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.

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.
