I have Ubuntu 16.04 droplet with a one-click install of Wordpress.
I went through this tutorial » How To Install and Secure phpMyAdmin on Ubuntu 16.04 « but still couldn’t access phpmyadmin.
There are portions of the initial installation that I may have done improperly, but I can’t figure out how to remove and reinstall/reconfigure phpmyadmin.
I tried to remove the installation.
- I ran:
$ sudo apt-get remove phpmyadmin php-mbstring php-gettext
- Then I:
$ sudo service apache2 restart
- Then:
$ sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin php-mbstring php-gettext
But I didn’t get the same installation prompts. What I got as a result of the installation was:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Suggested packages:
www-browser
The following NEW packages will be installed:
php-gettext php-mbstring phpmyadmin

I ran:
$ sudo service apache2 restart
Once again and tried to get into http://my_site/phpmyadmin to no avail. What can I do?
The files all seem to be on the server, just not accessible in the browser. Thanks for your help. -Alex

Removing
phpmyadminpackage will not remove it’s configuration. To completely removephpmyadminincluding configuration you need to usepurgeoption:Next time you install it, you’ll be asked for initial configuration. However if you want to reconfigure it you don’t need to reinstall it. You can use
dpkgto force run initial configuration prompt:I don’t think it’s needed. Some problems could arise and it can be fixed by enabling
phpmyadminexplicitly.Above command will create symlink for PMA Apache config from
phpmyadmindefault directory to apache available directory. When you do this, you need to enable config.After enabling configuration, Apache restart is required.
Try once again. And hope it works. =)
I have also followed the tuturial and after all steps i am getting this
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
use PhpMyAdmin\Routing;
if (! defined(‘ROOT_PATH’)) { // phpcs:disable PSR1.Files.SideEffects define(‘ROOT_PATH’, DIR . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); // phpcs:enable }
global $route, $containerBuilder;
require_once ROOT_PATH . ‘libraries/common.inc.php’;
$dispatcher = Routing::getDispatcher(); Routing::callControllerForRoute($route, $dispatcher, $containerBuilder);
Tried the same solution but all I get is this :
The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server.
Steps taken :
Went trough all the Lamp instalation/config
also installed phpmyadmin trough apt-get.
please advise
