12,407

Solution 1

It happened to me as well and I fixed it by:

uninstalling the package
$ whereis apache2
manually remove anything related to it
fresh package reinstall

Solution 2

Finally, it works! :)

After install php, i typed in terminal:

gksu gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Then add the following line to the end of the file.

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Then restart apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Thanks for help @Hellas and i hope this command helps somebody!

I have few errors with mysql-server, and after i tried more command in terminal, i don't find a proper way to resolve.

I decided to remove all (phpmyadmin, mysql, apache2). Mysql and phpmyadmin, remove successfully, but i have problem with apache2..

For Apache2, i use this command in terminal:
```
sudo apt-get autoremove
udo apt-get purge apache2 apache2-utils apache2.2-bin apache2-common
```
After that, i try install again apache2.
```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
```
But, localhost refused to connect.

In etc/hosts.conf is empty, what is necessary to add there? Maybe, is possible to exist another problem?

Thank you for help!

Thank you again! I use apache2 for website host. I try your command in terminal, but i recive this error: E:Unable to locate package apache2---installs .

sudo apt-get install apache2 ( --- installs apache2 was only the description of what it does, meaning it only installs the service)

Please write the full command line you have entered preceded by $ (example: $ sudo apt-get install apache2 )

you might've tried to install outdated packages; some new ones are out there and include the old ones; try $ sudo apt-get install php5-mysql phpmyadmin

First time, i try to use sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php7-mysql phpmyadmin . I typed your command, but i revice: E: Package 'php5-mysql' haso no installation candidate . (Multumesc tare mult de ajutor, de azi dimineata tot ma chinui. Am programele functionale pe windows, dar sunt nevoit sa fac switch-ul pe Ubuntu, cu care din pacate nu am mai avut tangente si ma lovesc de tot felul de erori)

Actually, now i find a command to install php, and works. :) But, still have problems with phpmyadmin, when i try to install i receive: Errors were encountered while porcessing: javascript-common libapache2-mod-php7.0 E: SUb-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1) and for that, i don't find a solution to solve.
