Hello, @marketingadmin

This questions was previously asked in our community and was answered by @bobbyiliev

You can check the original question here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/can-t-install-phpmyadmin-on-fresh-wordpress-droplet

“I’ve tried recreating the error at my end as well, it looks like that the debian-sys-maint MySQL user is missing and the phpMyAdmin installation is looking for it.

What I could suggest here is:

• Either try to create that user so that the apt install phpMyAdmin installation could go through as normal.

• Or install phpMyAdmin manually rather than using the package from the apt repo.

I’ve put together a mini-tutorial on how to do that manually:

Hope that this helps!

Hi @marketingadmin,

How are you experiencing this problem? Are you trying to enter into your MySQL instance or your website is not loading?

I would assume after you’ve followed the tutorial above, you’ve either changed your password somehow or you’ve added a security layer that now requires a password to be given.

It really depends on the command you are using so, can you please let me know how are you getting to this error and I’ll be able to provide you with more information about it.

Regards,
