This error is resolved in the above-mentioned link.
Can anyone tell why is this so that the phpMyAdmin server working perfectly fine yesterday suddenly misses a semicolon in the code? Would be great to know the reason.
Hi there @sharmanavdeep,
The error is reporting that the
login.phpfile is not present at the/usr/share/phpmyadmin/folder. You can check if this is indeed the case by running the following command:What I usually recommend is to install PHPmyAdmin manually rather than via
aptas that way you will have full control on where and how it is installed, you would also get the latest version.You can follow the steps on how to do that here:
