I installed phpmyadmin using apt-get on a VirtualBox running Debian.

I have uninstalled, reinstalled, added an Include to the apache2.conf, made symlinks, etc, etc.

I ran this : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin to make sure I had ticked apache. No effect.

I ran this : 

sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo a2enconf phpmyadmin
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

thinking I needed to do things manually, no change.

Also did an aptitude purge phpmyadmin and aptitude install phpmyadmin still nothing.

The only thing that has changed is normally I get a blank html page that says "File not found." If I comment out the Alias in the phpmyadmin.conf I get a normal 404 page. Aside from that, after trying everything I can think of or find nothing has changed.

What am I overlooking?

So, as I thought, I was overlooking something.

I should have mentioned that this is a Vagrant box that I didn't create. For some reason, the DocumentRoot in httpd.conf was set to a sub folder of a sub folder. Once I noticed that, the issue became much more clear. Doh!

I had one other issue - when making a symlink for phpmyadmin into the sub/sub folder - on Windows 7, even as an admin, creating symlinks can trigger a "Protocol error." There is information on handling that here

I am self-answering in the hopes that the next person who skips over checking httpd.conf will find this useful.
