Hi there,
Fully agree with what @KFSys mentioned. As a side note and in general, I would suggest installing PHPmyAdmin manually rather than directly via apt to avoid such configuration problems.
You can follow the steps on how to do that here:

Hi @dafidechu,
It seems like this issue might be related to your configuration. To be more precise, your Apache configuration file for phpMyAdmin. Can you please provide the config file here so that we can see if anything needs to be edited in order for the app to work as intended?
Usually, this file is located here :
/etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf
Regards, KFSys
