Question
How do I change phpMyAdmin access url?
- Posted January 7, 2015
I’m trying to change the default access url for phpMyAdmin from /phpmyadmin to something less common.
After googling, the only file I was able to find and edit was /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf - I changed the default aliases there, but after restarting apache it didn’t seem to make a difference. I was still able to access it via /phpmyadmin and my new alias didn’t work.
Some other sites say I have to edit httpd.conf or https-alias.conf - but I can’t find those files, and there is no alias list in 000-default.conf

You need to add apache2 config : sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf sudo a2enconf phpmyadmin.conf sudo service apache2 reload
I set it based on @mhardaniel tutorial, but I got this below error message in apache log:
[Mon Jan 21 06:25:03.272652 2019] [alias:warn] [pid 763:tid 140451442693312] AH00671: The Alias directive in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf at line 4 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier Alias.
How can I fix this?
Thanks!

In my case (Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS) it was located on /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
I found the phpmyadmin configuartion file. it is located here:
/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf
@sierracircle that file doesn’t exist… I’m using Ubuntu 14.04
