I'm setting up a LAMP server, I installed apache2, mysql, and phpmyadmin via apt-get install, but I can't find phpadmin. It should be in 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin, right? However, http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin just provides a 404 error.

I did add Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and restarted apache.

What I did wrong?

does your apache user have access to the /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf file? what is the output of apache2ctl -S ? did you restart your apache after phpmyadmin installation ? – Goez Jan 29 at 18:57
@Goez Yeah I did restart. It outputted this and the virtual host information:Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName – Christian Jan 29 at 19:05
did you try 120.0.0.1/pma ? – hunterman Jan 31 at 15:11
Of course not. Why would I do so? And it doesn't work. @hunterman – Christian Feb 1 at 10:40
In my installation phpadmin adds alias "/pma" to its folder in apache config. Can you show your config file? – hunterman Feb 2 at 19:16

Should you get a 404 "Not Found" error when you point your browser to the location of phpMyAdmin (such as: http://localhost/phpmyadmin) this is likely caused by not checking the 'Apache 2' selection during installation. To redo the installation run the following:

 sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin

Then select Apache 2 for the webserver you wish to configure.

If this does not work, then you can do the following to include the phpMyadmin-shipped Apache configuration into Apache:

sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

No, still doesn't work. Besides, I'm using debian. – Christian Jan 30 at 8:23
Can you check /var/log/apache2/error.log while browsing for phpmyadmin? Try to grep for phpmyadmin and post what you see. – Daniel t. Jan 30 at 14:43
