If getting error like:
< ?php /* vim: set expandtab sw=4 ts=4 sts=4: */ /** * Main loader script * * @package PhpMyAdmin */ /** * Gets some core libraries and displays a top message if required */ require_once 'libraries/common.inc.php'; /** * display Git revision if requested */ require_once 'libraries/display_git_revision.lib.php'; require_once 'libraries/Template.class.php';
… it is a libapache2-mod-php package error. The fix goes like:
sudo apt install libapache2-mod-php7 libapache2-mod-php
If that does not help, reinstall the next things
sudo systemctl stop mysql
sudo systemctl stop apache2
sudo apt purge php*
sudo apt install --reinstall apache2 libapache2-mod-php libapache2-mod-php7
sudo apt install --reinstall mysql-server
sudo apt install --reinstall phpmyadmin
….. and PhpMyAdmin should work.
