I pre-installed LAMP with my droplet and then i opened terminal and put in "sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin" and it ran like it was working right. I hit y to confirm and then i restarted my droplet and tried to access /phpmyadmin on my server and it says "The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server." I did indeed install it on apache 2 as i have seen some articles about that. Any details why i cannot access it?

Did you remember to tick the apache2 option in the installation wizard? It's not the most user friendly interface, so it's easy to make a mistake there.
You should have a phpMyAdmin configuration located in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ if the installation was successful - and you shouldn't need to restart the entire server, it should be enough by restarting Apache.
If you want to reinstall and see the configuration wizard again, you need to remove and purge your current installation of phpMyAdmin first:
sudo apt-get --purge remove phpmyadmin
You can read more in this tutorial:

I face the same problem and i do not find phpmyadmin config file in path :etc/apache2/conf-enabled
(The installation process actually adds the phpMyAdmin Apache configuration file into the /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ directory, where it is automatically read.)
