thanks in advance for any help.

 

My Server:

I just installed a Ubuntu Server 17.04 with basic software and LAMP. (I first tried 18, but because of this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curtin/+bug/1767569) I cannot install it from an usb device.

Goal is to have a local webserver in my current intranet. Apache, PHP and MySQL are all running fine.

I already configured my DNS to point to the webserver and I get the apache default site. When opening my phpinfo I get PHP Version 7.0.15-1ubuntu4, so php7 is running fine.

Haven't tried the ftp yet, but that could be done later.

 

Problem:

All I need now is to get phpmadmin running, because right now I get an error when opening /phpmyadmin
So I checked the server and it seems like phpmyadmin isn't installed together with LAMP (no phpmyadmin folder in /usr/share/)

 

What I have tried so far:

1. I've added deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ zesty universe multiverse and deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ zesty-updates universe multiverse to the repo list


2. I've added the phpmyadmin repository sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nijel/phpmyadmin
   


3. I've apt-get update and apt-get upgrade multiple times


4. Used apt-get install -f
   


5. Many more things I cannot remember right now, but have been reverted afterwards.

Now when I issue the command apt-get install phpmyadmin php php-mbstring php-xml libjs-sphinxdoc dbconfig-mysql php-php-gettext php-phpseclib php-curl php-gd php-bz2 php-zip php-tcpdf I get following errors:

Right now I don't know what else I can to, but asking here. I've seen that a lot of users already had issues with getting phpmyadmin work on a Linux with LAMP, but I seems that all those issues got resolved with solutions I have already tried. I would really appreciate any help here. (If you ask: Apart from the changes in the sources.list I've mentioned above I didn't add any other repos.)

Alright,

solution was just like I posted in my comment above. Version 17.04 is end of lifetime and therefore I wasn't able to find any software. I reinstalled 16.04 LTS and everything works perfectly.
