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.
