Phpmyadmin HTTP Error 500 After complete installation and security login prompts but nothing

Posted January 20, 2017 11.2k views
PHPUbuntu 16.04

I installed the phpmyadmin looking at the digital ocean guide. After completing each step sucessfully the phpmyadmin does show the pop-up at example.com/phpmyadmin after to it there is no reponse when I login it shows HTTP Error 500. I checked the Apache2 log it didn’t showed any error.
So I did reconfiguration of the phpmyadmin still the issue persist out to be same. I also tried installing few php addons as looking at the forum those were php-mbstring php7.0-mbstring php-gettext also they got install and configure still the Phpmyadmin showcased HTTP Error 500 after login. Is the issue related to .htacess ?
The phpmyadmin .htacess has following code
AuthType Basic
AuthName “Restricted Files”
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.phpmyadmin.htpasswd
Require valid-user

Just help me out what;s the exact issue which is persisted ?

Which guide did you follow? If you would, please provide the link.

If you delete your .htaccess file and attempt to access the URI to your phpMyAdmin installation, does it work or do you still get the same error – or do you see a different error?

If, after deleting your .htaccess file, you’re able to access the installation, then we know that the issue is most likely with that file and you’ll want to double-check that there are no extra spaces or tabs – before or after (this can happen if you copy and paste sometimes).

    I used this guide https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu-16-04

    Also I tried deleting the htaccess file then the chrome said the error the example.com page isn’t working. I removed the line from the apache conf file for phpmyadmin alloworride one still the issue was page isn’t working. Earlier before installation I use to get error 404 from the site.

If you would, please post the contents of your configuration and I’ll be more than happy to take a look at it for you. Essentially, copy and paste what’s between the opening and closing VirtualHost blocks and wrap it with three starting backticks and three closing backticks (that’ll create a code block and keep it organized inside the comments section).

      @letstalk

      Was this, by chance, copied from the terminal output? If so, you’d be better off logging in to SFTP, downloading the file, and then doing a copy & paste as doing so from terminal leads to missing details and random $ signs being inserted.

      The error you’re receiving from your previous output is due to the line starting with:

      php_admin_value open_basedir

      I’ve intentionally not copied the entire line as that’s one of the lines with a trailing $, but to test if that’s the only issue, I would comment that line out and then restart apache.
