How to fix phpMyAdmin 404 Not Found error in Ubuntu
Most webmasters opt for phpMyAdmin to manage their MySQL database on their VPS or dedicated server, but sometimes you may end up getting 404 “Not Found” error when you point your browser to phpmyadmin installation (say like: http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin). This error is most likely caused by not selecting “Apache 2″ during the installation. To fix it, you must redo the phpmyadmin installation.
Enter the following in your terminal:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin
Reinstall database for phpmyadmin: Select “No”
Web server to reconfigure automatically: Select “apache 2″
It should work now. If not, do the following to include the phpMyadmin-shipped Apache configuration into Apache:
sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
Restart apache:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
That’s it. Let me if you have any doubts in the comment.
Hi,
Thanks for the tutorial, but I still get the 404 Not found !!
what to do then??
Did you include the phpMyadmin-shipped into your apache config file?
Works on debian;D
Thanks
Thanks! Worked for me(mint)
Thanks. Worked with sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf on Ubuntu 11.04. Had installed phpmyadmin and lamp-server using apt-get
I am glad it works for you guys!
wow it was that easy. fixed my problem in Ubuntu server 10.04. It took me a minute to figure out how to select “Apache 2″. All you have to do is hit the space bar if anyone else reads this.
Same here. Big thanks, I would never ever hit the space bar!
Thank you!!!
