I am trying to set up a LAMP server on a Ubuntu 14.04 desktop, but am having trouble with setting up phpmyadmin. It is very similar to this (unanswered) question
phpmyadmin is located here:
/usr/share/phpmyadmin
I created the config folder as outlined in the docs, but when I go to localhost/phpmyadmin I get this error:
Directory config, which is used by the setup script, still exists in your phpMyAdmin directory. You should remove it once phpMyAdmin has been configured.
Going to localhost/phpmyadmin/setup/index.php will then give me this error:
Cannot load or save configuration
Please create web server writable folder config in phpMyAdmin top level directory as described in documentation. Otherwise you will be only able to download or display it.
Any ideas on why I can't load the script?
/etc/phpmyadmin has:
apache.conf config.footer.inc.php htpasswd.setup phpmyadmin.service
conf.d config.header.inc.php lighttpd.conf
config-db.php config.inc.php phpmyadmin.desktop
Have you tried accessing localhost/phpmyadmin?
Also, try creating a soft link under /var/www/html/ to /usr/share/phpmyadmin
