[FIXED] Phpmyadmin and Apache 2.4 - 404 errors

Issue

Has anyone had problems with 404 errors and phpmyadmin after upgrading to Apache 2.4?

My ubuntu machine ran the upgrade a few days ago and I have not been able to access localhost/phpmyadmin since. I just get 404 errors.

I know there have been security changes in 2.4 but I checked out the settings in the phpmyadmin.conf loaded by apache and I can't see anything that would affect non-admin users. Furthermore I commented out the old security rules and added the new ones, but still not working...

Solution

Ok so I found the answer with a bit of fiddling.

Basically /phpmyadmin is an alias for /usr/share/phpmyadmin This was previously defined in phpmyadmin.conf. I now have it defined in the apache2 alias.conf file, and it works fine.

Not sure if that means that I am missing out on other things defined in phpmyadmin.conf, but will have to see, I suppose.
