You have two options

Enter these commands for the specific error if your prior configuration is okay:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php-gettext php-mbstring
sudo service apache2 restart

Or remove and start a fresh install:

sudo service mysql stop
sudo apt-get --purge remove mysql*
sudo apt-get --purge remove phpmyadmin
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server phpmyadmin php-gettext php-mbstring
sudo service apache2 restart

Check that when you configure phpmyadmin's http server setting that you select the server by pressing the spacebar and is it gets marked with an asterisk or it will not configure it. The press "OK" to save it.

I had this problem - selection was highlighted but didn't press space bar to place asterisk. Had to sudo apt purge phpmyadmin and then re-install to get the option again. Hope that helps someone. – Avery Freeman Jan 21 '17 at 17:53
I had the same problem. Using sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin I could easily reinstall phpmyadmin and select the correct option. – Pieter De Bie Feb 17 '17 at 09:48

You should expand your answer by explaining how these two modules fix the problem. – Andrea Lazzarotto May 12 '16 at 14:02

Since you didn't choose an answer, maybe the problem is still open and it is similar to mine (PHP is not working - therefore phpmyadmin doesn't work).

I upgraded from 15.10 to 16.04 yesterday and also got PHP7 (instead of 5) in the process. localhost worked for me, but the public_html directory in my home directory didn't.

Problem was the upgrade of PHP (in localhost I had an html-document which loaded perfectly, but PHP didn't work as expected). I had to edit /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php7.conf where PHP was disabled ( line 23: php_admin_value engine Off ) just had to make it a comment (with the editor of your choice add a "#" at the start of the line):

# php_admin_value engine Off

and restart the apache:

sudo service apache2 restart

Hope that helps ... worked like a charm for me. ;-)
