I installed Apache and then PHPMyAdmin on my Ubuntu server, but I have not been able to access PHPMyAdmin at http://localhost/phpmyadmin/. http://localhost is working however.

Where did you install phpmyadmin to? –  paulmorriss Feb 16 '12 at 15:23
How did you "install" it? It should just be in whatever folder you put it in. –  DisgruntledGoat Feb 16 '12 at 16:51

What errors did the error logs (access and or error logs)? That would help determining the issue. Could be a socket issue, but could be a url issue too. I assume PHP is installed too?

Did you install MySQL?

Another possibility is to download phpmyadmin and extract is to htdocs/phpmyadmin.

If you are trying to open http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ and getting 404 Error then follow steps.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Add the phpmyadmin config to the file:

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

then restart apache:

sudo service apache2 restart
