blank page example.com/phpmyadmin with errors in browser's console

Question

I have installed phpmyadmin and symlinked it on my LEMP server(php 7).But when i goto hostname/phpmyadmin it returns a blank page with phpmyadmin icon on titlebar.

And 3 errors in browser's console:

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING

Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

Uncaught ReferenceError: PMA_commonParams is not defined

I have tried many solutions but not able to find whats the problem :(

server config:

         server {
   # listen 80 ;
   # listen [::]:80 default_server;

    # SSL configuration

PHP-FPM in nginx: the buffer of fastcgi is not big enough.

Try adding this to your config:

fastcgi_buffers 8 512k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 256k;
fastcgi_send_timeout 5m;
fastcgi_read_timeout 5m;
fastcgi_connect_timeout 5m;

My nginx config:

server {
    client_max_body_size 100M;

    listen 80;

    server_name phpmyadmin.dev;

    root /usr/share/phpmyadmin;

    access_log off;

    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    location ~ ^/(.+\.php)$ {
        try_files $uri = 404;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

        fastcgi_buffers 8 512k;
        fastcgi_buffer_size 256k;
        fastcgi_send_timeout 5m;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 5m;
        fastcgi_connect_timeout 5m;
    }
}
