if you cannot view phpmyadmin's web interface

1. check if you have Apache server running
2. do the magic:

Open Apache config file:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Add this line:

Code:

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Restart Apache:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Type in your browser:

Code:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin
