phpMyAdmin default Apache configuration

Change that to

phpMyAdmin default Apache configuration

Alias /anyname /usr/share/phpmyadmin

Then make sure to restart Apache

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Answer 3

For ubuntu (i used ubuntu 12.04), the default phpmyadmin apache configuration can be found at /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

You can open it by type sudo nano /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf and change the third

Alias /yournewalias /usr/share/phpmyadmin

Do not forget to restart apache service,

sudo service apache2 restart
