I selected the apache2 server by pressing the space bar. just wondering when i ran the command sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf

i got the following message

failed to create a symbolic link /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf : File already exitts

Is this wrong??

That link is already present otherwise you couldn't have browsed to the login page.
Are you sure you have also installed the php5-mysql extenssion. if not then

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
sudo service apache2 restart
