That specific error is stating that /etc/apache2/.phpmyadmin.htpasswd does not exist.

Inside your .htaccess file, are you referencing that file? If so, you’ll need to make sure it exists as any problems with your .htaccess file may cause issues elsewhere since WordPress relies on it heavily.

    no there is no htpasswd in .htaccess

    BEGIN WordPress

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUESTFILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST    FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    RedirectMatch Permanent wp-admin/install(-helper)?.php /
    </IfModule>

    END WordPress

Have you checked other directories to ensure that another .htaccess file does not exist? That error is telling me that there is password protection somewhere and it’s trying to locate that file, but since it’s not found, it’s logging the error.

As far as the .htaccess file you posted, the following line shouldn’t be required and isn’t part of the normal WordPress .htaccess:

RedirectMatch Permanent wp-admin/install(-helper)?.php /

    this is not the problem i figured it out,its just on permission folder for
    wp-content/themes
    ../plugins
    ../uploads

    sudo chmod g+w /var/www/html/wp-content

    and 

    sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www/html/wp-content/themes

    sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins

    sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads

    thanks dude!
