Hello, @rogengupta6
I tried following thsi article - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu-18-04 as described and it seems like it works as expected.
Note that you need to also follow the mentioned prerequisites otherwise you might hit unexpected errors.
In my case I had to do the following:
-
Follow the steps from the initial server setup guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-18-04
-
Then follow the steps on how to install LAMP: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-ubuntu-18-04
-
And finally proceed with the phpMyAdmin tutorial
I think that you would get the error in case that you have not run the ```sudo mysql_secure_installation`` command from the How to install LAMP tutorial.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
