1. How did you setup / install phpmyadmin?
2. What is the ownership, group ownership and permissions on /var/www?

I don't use phpmyadmin but I debug alot of my own apache stuff. What's the access and error log say? Did you try with your ip address too? if you have access rules you might've disabled access with the localhost word thing. Check logs with something like this.

clear; tail -n 0 -f /var/log/apache2/{error,access}.log | while read input; do echo "${input:0:200}"; done

Then with the command running goto the page in chromium and make it error, then ctrl+c in the terminal to stop the command.

Is it a cache problem with chromium? did you try firefox?

i don't really got what you want me to do?
you want me to write that code into a .php file and run it in localhost ? or ?

as for chrommium its not a cache problem.. i have tried in firefox and opera same result..

No that's bash code you enter into your terminal... It basically will output the log files to your terminal so we can read them and find out what's wrong possibly.

You enter the command to your terminal then goto your myphpadmin page and re-create the error then look for the output in the terminal.

Edit:
Same result with firefox? I've never seen this error in firefox before.

Just a basic 404 error maybe?

yea its was a 404..
but i asked a friend and told me it was a broken symlink or something. so i ran to command

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

and it's working now thanks for your time to help me anyway ...
