I have a Ubuntu 18.04 server running a LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL and PHP) stack secured with ufw. I installed phpMyAdmin by running these commands:

$ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install phpmyadmin

During the installation process, I was prompted to choose the web server (either Apache or Lighthttp) to configure. I am using Nginx as web server, so I pressed tab and then OK to advance to the next step.

Then I was prompted whether to use dbconfig-common for configuring the application database, and I selected "Yes".

Once the installation was finished, I ran this command to create a symbolic link from the installation files to Nginx’s document root directory:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/phpmyadmin

My phpMyAdmin installation should now be operational. However, when I type mydomain.ca/phpmyadmin, it shows a 404 Not Found error. How can I fix this? Did I do something wrong?

server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name mydomain.ca; return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; } server { listen 443 ssl http2; listen [::]:443 ssl http2; server_name mydomain.ca; root /var/www/html/mydomain/public; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.ca/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.ca/privkey.pem; ssl_protocols TLSv1.2; ssl_ciphers ECDHE-RSA-AES456-GCM-SHA512:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA512:ECDHE-RSA-AES246-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES456-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA394; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"; add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"; add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"; index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html; charset utf-8; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location ~ \.php$ { include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock; } location ~ /\.ht { deny all; } location ~ /.well-known { allow all; } }

Having linked the phpmyadmin to your root web dir ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/phpmyadmin you should configure in the vhost file a route to that path. I recommend trying to access your server via its IP and trying to see if you have the default nginx host enabled. Maybe you could access it from there.

I would create another vhost file and point the /location to /var/www/, then link phpmyadmin as I said earlier

I figured it out myself. I created a symbolic link to phpmyadmin in /var/www/html/, when I needed to create a symbolic link to phpmyadmin in /var/www/html/mydomain/public

EDIT: I just realized that Outcast answered my question, although at the time I didn't know what he was talking about due to my lack of knowledge with servers. Technically, I still figured it out myself, but I will give him the bounty.

Do you have a phpmyadmin directory in your root directory, if not that request will never get processed based on what I am seeing this config.

Yes, I have phpMyAdmin in my root directory, and I created a symbolic link as well.
Do I need to add something to my config file to get phpMyAdmin to work?
