DigitalOcean PHPMyAdmin 404 not found error – Troubleshooting

If you have been having trouble with the 404 Not Found error when attempting to access PHPMyAdmin on DigitalOcean, you have come to the right place.

According to our experts, it is likely due to a misconfiguration in the server or in the PHPMyAdmin setup.

Causes & Fixes

Let’s take a look at some of the common reasons behind the 404 Not Found error when trying to access PHPMyAdmin on DigitalOcean:

• Incorrect URL:

  We have to verify we are using the correct URL to access PHPMyAdmin. Additionally, the URL has to follow the following format:

  http:///phpmyadmin/

  In case we are using a custom domain name, we have to make sure it is correctly configured to point to our server’s IP address.
• Missing PHPMyAdmin installation:

  First, verify that PHPMyAdmin is available on our server. If not, we can easily install it with this command:

  • For Debian and Ubuntu-based distributions

    sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
  • For CentOS and Red Hat-based distributions

    sudo yum install phpmyadmin
• Incorrect PHPMyAdmin configuration:

  If PHPMyAdmin is installed on your server, we have to make sure it is correctly configured. This includes checking if the phpmyadmin.conf file is present in the /etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory (for Nginx web server) or /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory (for Apache web server). Furthermore, we have to check if it contains the correct configuration directives for our server.
• Incorrect web server configuration:

  We have to ensure that the web server is correctly configured to serve PHPMyAdmin. Additionally, we have to verify that the web server’s configuration files include the correct directives for serving PHPMyAdmin, including the correct root and location directives.
• Incorrect permissions:

  Ensure that the files and directories related to PHPMyAdmin have the correct permissions. Furthermore, we have to check that the phpmyadmin directory and its files have the correct ownership and permissions.

Our experts suggest taking a look at the server logs for any error messages for more insight into the cause of the issue.
