PROBLEM:

ubuntu-11.04

• When we try http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ 

• We get this error on my browser

PhpMyadmin not working

SOLUTION 1:

• You will need to configure your apache2.conf

gksu gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf 

• You can add the following line to the end of the file.

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf 

• Then restart apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart 

SOLUTION 2:

Sample code:

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

SOLUTION 3:

Ubuntu 16.04

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

sudo apt install php-gettext

SOLUTION 4:

• Open terminal and the user using the command:

sudo su

• After installing phpmyadmin using instructions, open /etc/apache2/conf-available
• You will find a file named phpmyadmin.conf. Copy it to /etc/apache2/conf-enabled

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.

SOLUTION 5:

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

SOLUTION 6:

• Firstly check if the directory /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.
