Answer 1

I was having the same issue today. I had some success downloading phpmyadmin from phpmyadmin.net, and following their instructions. I did run into a different problem during the setup of phpmyadmin....

So, I punted on resolving this with the Amazon AMI for now, and chose to install the Bitnami LAMP AMI to get me going quicker. It comes with phpmyadmin configured.

NOTE: Bitnami's AMI is running PHP Version 5.6.29, so I would say it's valid to follow the previous post's advice and downgrade, unless your web application specifically needs PHP 7.0.
