phpmyadmin not working after installation

[Extol11]

I installed phpmyadmin on my lubuntu 12.04 installation and after finishing with the installation, when I go to http://midna/phpmyadmin I get a 404 page. I have everything necessary installed, apache, mysql and every dependency that synaptic asked for. Do I still need to configure something else before using the service?

Are you using this in a desktop environment or server?

If your are using the Gnome (GUI) environment it is very easy to install phpmyadmin in this order. Essentially it works out of the box:

Follow this great guide:

I'm using Lubuntu which brings the LXDE gui. I'll check that out and see if it talks more about the setup process. I installed this following the official documentation and there's nothing else it says I should do.

There should be a file in /etc/phpmyadmin called apache.conf, you need to copy this file to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled, then run a2ensite:

sudo cp /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apaches2/sites-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf

Then enable the site:

sudo a2ensite /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf

After restarting apache:

sudo service apache2 restart

you should be able to access phpmyadmin.
