localhost/phpmyadmin is giving 404 error and in thr url is not showing any file list.
I have changed the ServerName in every conf file. Actually it was just happened recently. I was about to install laravel (a php based framework) in my local machine. It was said to change the virtualhost in apache2 configuration and so I did. But now this has created the problem.
Help me please. I am in a very bad situation.

You will need to configure your apache2.conf to make phpMyAdmin works.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.confThen add the following line to the end of the file.
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.confThen restart apache
/etc/init.d/apache2 restartIf the localhost/phpmyadmin give error 404 maybe you can check the symlink.
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www
sudo a2enconf phpmyadmin
sudo service apache2 reloadPlease check the output when you type localhost on your browser the output is apache homepage.
4The 404 or Not Found error message indicates that the client was able to communicate with a given server, but the server could not find what was requested.
The web site hosting server will typically generate a "404 Not Found" web page when a user attempts to follow a broken or dead link, such as when the requested file (page) is not at that URL, which will most likely mean that your phpmyadmin is not located at or symlinked to .
I have previously come across this situation personally and my solution was actually very simple;
Copy/move phpmyadmin into /var/www or wherever you store your web files:
cp -R '/usr/share/phpmyadmin' '/var/www/'Then create a new VirtualHost in your apache.conf file, or as I do have a .conf for each VirtualHost. Bare in mind you will have to make sure there are no conflicting VirtualHost's, a simple straight forward VirtualHost phpmyadmin.conf file;
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName phpmyadmin.local
ServerAdmin
DocumentRoot /var/www/phpmyadmin <Directory var/www/phpmyadmin> AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all Require all granted </Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combinedDon't forget to do;
sudo service apache2 restartYou can then go one step further in your organization regarding your setup, you may notice that my ServerName is phpmyadmin.local, this the most simple thing to do and its known as local subdomains. To implement this you will need to do the following (of course choose your favorite text editor);
sudo gedit /etc/hostsAnd here is my hosts file, full to the brim of local subdomains;

You can use IP addresses from your entire network, essentially what you put in the hosts file an IP address that when typed in your local browser your system will first look at your hosts file and if that URL isnt in there you will be forwarded to an external DNS. Basically this a local DNS service that works like a charm.
And then in my browser I use the URL or just phpmyadmin.local
