How to access phpMyAdmin after installation?

Question

I've installed phpmyadmin sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin. Of course, I have also mysql and a web server running properly.

Now how can I reach it?

It depends on what web server you're using and how you set it up? — karthick87, Dec 28 '10 at 17:23

Did you try http://localhost/phpmyadmin?

Edit: Do this first

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

add this line somewhere

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

and finally restart apache.

sudo service apache2 restart

yes. And it doesn't work. "http://localhost" is working properly, since it display me the standard web page of the server. – mcastel Dec 28 '10 at 16:41
Worked for me, weird though, since it worked on another server without adding this line... – n3rd Aug 03 '12 at 00:12

This worked for me: ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-phpmyadmin – Steve Bennett May 05 '14 at 04:33

You probably skiped the configure from the package.

Try this cli:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin

And when it choose the webserver to configure, select apache.

Simply forgot to tick the [ ] apache with the spacebar on install. – DKSan Nov 01 '16 at 07:33

I also discovered that the little red square is not an “accept” symbol! – Tim May 30 '18 at 11:53

It depends on your configuration.

From my experience, I may reach with localhost/phpmyadmin but fail to login, I have to reconfigure phpmyadmin, reset MySQL password, and then I may login without problems.

Reconfigure phpmyadmin
Ctrl+Alt+t to launch terminal
sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin
Connection method for MySQL database for phpmyadmin: unix socket
Name of the database's administrative user: root
Password of the database's administrative user: mysqlsamplepassword
MySQL username for phpmyadmin: root
MySQL database name for phpmyadmin: phpmyadmin
Web server to reconfigure automatically: apache2
ERROR 1045
ignore
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5
New password for the MySQL "root" user: mysqlsamplepassword
Repeat password for the MySQL "root" user: mysqlsamplepassword

But if your problem is fail to interpret php, follow the instruction to enable your php first.

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf
look for php_admin_value engine off, between and
Add # in front of php_admin_value engine off to disable it.
REMEMBER! Don't change the value php_admin_value engine from off to on!
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Wish it helps!

Have a nice day!

If you have changed the port in which Apache is listening on, default is 80;

sudo nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf

look for the Listen port should look like

Listen 80

if that port is diffrent in order to get into phpmyadmin your url must point to that port

example

localhost:port/phpmyadmin/

change the port number to the one you have in the /etc/apache2/ports.conf
