Question
Ran phpmyadmin installation tutorial but can't access http://my_site/phpmyadmin
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.
