IPADDRESS/phpmyadmin/ 404 error

Posted on November 13, 2015

I’m using Putty for Windows with Ubuntu 14.04.3. I can’t access my IPaddress/phpmyadmin/ even though I already have it installed on my server and I’ve restarted apache2 as recommended in another post on here.

  • What does your Apache configuration look like for the virtual host that’s associated with the account you’re trying to access? (to keep things neat, please use PasteBin and submit the link in a follow-up post)

  • Have you verified that the paths & files are owned by the user associated with the account?

  • Have you checked for hidden files, such as .htaccess in your directories? One slight configuration error and .htaccess can wreak havoc!

  • Have you checked to make sure that the path you’re trying to access is part of the path actually configured and associated with your virtual host? It’s an easy mistake to make, trust me :-).
