Ubuntu – Phptheadmin page shows lines of code on ubuntu server 16.04

All you need to do is setup a subdomain for apache. You can do this by creating a configuration file in /etc/apache2/sites-available.

Here's mine ..

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin adminn@example.local
   ServerName phpmyadmin.example.local
   DocumentRoot /usr/share/phpmyadmin
   <Directory />
       Options FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride None
   </Directory>
   LogLevel notice
   CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
   ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
   ServerSignature On
</VirtualHost>

Save that to /etc/apache2/sites-available/phpmyadmin.conf and enable the subdomain.

a2ensite phpmyadmin

And restart the apache server

service apache2 reload

Now you should be able to use phpmyadmin from phpmyadmin.example.local.

It appears file permissions are to blame. Please check your configuration files and ensure they are readable by the apache2 user 'www-data'

$ sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/phpmyadmin              
$ sudo chmod 664 /var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php 
$ sudo chmod 664 /var/lib/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php 
$ sudo chmod 664 /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php

For me, this may have happened when I replaced Ubuntu's default phpmyadmin with the latest from a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~nijel/+archive/ubuntu/phpmyadmin
