phpMyAdmin in Xampp not working

Question

I\'m getting below error when I type in localhost/phpMyAdmin after starting apache and mysql server in Xampp in Windows 7 environment.

Is there a way I can fix this issu

Answer 1

404 is the code for page not found

If you get this while running both mysql and apache It means the Url is not correct:

1. Check the alias like in @kamil's comments
2. If alias is correct then you need to specify the port.

http://localhost/phpmyadmin is the url if your port is set to default 80.

In my case I already had a service listennig on that port so I had to change it.

The fix is to add the port if it is a custom one:

http://localhost:<port>/phpmyadmin

To find out which port you have look inside of httpd.conf.

here is a screenshot for xampp:

To quickly find it, search for listen:

I just finished installing xampp 1.8.2 on WinXP XP2 machine and got same error show up on my Firefox 24.0 browser:

xampp Not Found The requested URL /phpmyadmin/ was not found on this server.

I solved this problem by changing the proxy of my firefox browser, go to menu tools-Option find tab Network, click button settings. Fill the text box below No Proxy for with localhost.

In my case then it looklike:

192.168.1.0/24, localhost

Then press Ok, then Ok again.

Try now typing localhost/xampp then it should show Welcome to XAMPP for Windows!

Note: to change proxy for other browser may differ, check your browser help about how to change proxy.

Hope this help.

First of all go to apache config.

Now go to select Apache “httpd.conf” so now you can see that a notepad file will be opened”.

Find the word “Listen” using ctrl + F button or go to Edit then select find. Replace “Listen 80” to “Listen 8080“.

Again find another “Listen” now change “ServerName localhost:80” to “ServerName localhost:8080” and then save it.

“We are almost done to fix localhost/phpmyadmin” Step 6: Again go to config and select “Apache (httpd-sss.conf)“.

Step 7 is to Find “Listen 443” and change it to “Listen 4433“

Step 8: Find “” and replace this with “” and again save it.

Step 9: Go to config and select “service & ports settings” and change the port to 8080 and 4433 and save it.

Step 10: Restart, the localhost/phpmyadmin is solved.

Thank you, also share this !

Answer 4

Is port 80 being used by another service or app?

I think you can check by the test in: xammp> apache>service> test>

Answer 5

Use lowercase: http://localhost/phpmyadmin

Apache is case-sensitive.

Answer 6

Try I did not access it directly like following url pattern : url : localhost or localhost/file-folder-of your project name.

But i can access file or folder and phpmyadmin using

url : localhost:port_num/file-folder-of your project name
