PHPMyAdmin 404 after installation on Ubuntu

After installing phpmyadmin on ubuntu, when you try to access it using browser http://localhost/phpmyadmin it might give 404.

The phpmyadmin is installed in ‘/usr/share/phpmyadmin’ directory. we need to link the above directory with our document root i.e ‘/var/www/html’ by default

The following command will create a soft link in ‘/var/www/html’ (Your document root might be different it has been changed by you).

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/html/phpmyadmin
