How do I run phpmyadmin in localhost?

Post by nikk_nitin »

I switched from windows recently. I used XAMPP in windows to run phpMyAdmin in localhost. But when I installed it in my Linux Mint 18.3 and typed localhost in firefox, all I could see was Apache's home page and not XAMPP's Dashboard, though the control panel displayed MySQL active.
I then uninstalled XAMPP and found an alternative AMPPS which again showed the same problem.
I don't know whats wrong.
I only need MySQL and PHPMyAdmin to run.
This is the terminal output when I open AMPPS in terminal.

Code: Select all

Nikk-PC ampps # ./Ampps
QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory
QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /usr/local/ampps/conf/my.ini
[Ampps::exec] "/usr/local/ampps/apache/bin/httpd-k start" 
QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLv2_client_method
QSslSocket: cannot resolve SSLv2_server_method
And this is how localhost looks like

What if you try:
localhost/phpmyadmin/
?
Windows assumes I'm stupid but Linux demands proof of it
