Installing php5 does not install phpmyadmin. You need to install it yourself. not everyone who uses php5 would want to run phpmyadmin.

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

(you need to enable the universe repository.)

I am having the same problem.
PHP, Apache and MySql are all getting along famously.
I have installed and re-installed phpMyAdmin as detailed above but it still doesn't work. The phpMyAdmin directory is there in the /usr/share/ directory, but there is nothing pointing to it in the /var/www/ directories.
I am using Ubuntu 7.10.

Could you tell me how to make one of these symbolic links that are mentioned?

Never mind - I made it work with my brain.

i had the same problem but clues on this topic helped me with solution

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www

that's strange, if you installed it from the repos, it should have taken care of all that by creating a file called:

/etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf

as well as a few other config-related things ...

Same thing. I followed Addison Berry's short video (www.lullabot.com) on installing LAMP and phpmyadmin did not end up in /var/www as she noted it should. She was installing on Fiesty Fawn (7.04) but said it would work the same on 7.10.

http://localhost/phpmyadmin worked the first time around, but did not work correctly the second time around hence I got the 404 message too. The sudo ln -s command you offered in a previous post fixed the problem nicely. Although I would rather have seen phpmyadmin in the /var/www directory so my worries about messing things up would be lessened

Wonder if this is a new feature in 7.10?

BTW, Ubuntu rocks, you guys are great for all the assistance and informative posts. I'm having a great time!

Whoa .. this thread just solved my problem. That ln command is just what I was looking for (guess it before, but didn't know how to do it::noob)

Thanks, guys!

Tracked down a solution to the 404 error when trying to access localhost/phpmyadmin. When installing phpmyadmin (sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin) at the command line, during the install a window will open telling you about phpmyadmin auto configuring for apache. To select the appropriate apache option, tab through to highlight the apache option you want and then press the space bar to place an asterick in the box. Hit enter to proceed with install and you should be good to go. Found this info at: http://devolio.com/blog/archives/221...untu-7.10.html
