phpMyAdmin in Xampp not working

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:

Use lowercase: http://localhost/phpmyadmin

Apache is case-sensitive.
