PHPMyAdmin crashing?

Question

I'm setting up a development server for the first time and currently have the below installed:

• lamp-server^
• Symfony2 framework
• PHPStorm

These are all working ok, however I have tried to install PHPMyAdmin from Ubuntu Software Center and about half way through the process bar it freezes (and the app window grays out). Do you know what would be causing the problem? Could it be due to MySQL already having been installed in the lamp-server^ or something?

Resolved - I'm not sure if it's just one of the below steps that fixed it but I followed the instructions on this link:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin

The important step for me was below - I just needed to edit the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and include the following line of code (I don't think the location matters) and save it:

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

After this, I restarted the apache server (sudo service apache2 restart) and then I was able to just go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin and I got the PHPMyAdmin page loading without problem
