Weird error in phpmyadmin, It is installed successfully but still not working

I have been struggling to install phpmyadmin from whole day. I have tried it reinstalling many times, but its not working. On opening localhost/phpmyadmin i am getting some text not actual phpmyadmin UI.

The text is-

addJSON( 'options', PMA_RecentTable::getInstance()->getHtmlSelectOption() ); exit; } if ($GLOBALS['PMA_Config']->isGitRevision()) { if (isset($_REQUEST['git_revision']) && $GLOBALS['is_ajax_request'] == true) { PMA_printGitRevision(); exit; } echo '

I have installed phpmyadmin by using command-

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

and it is successfully installed with apache2 server. Also apache2 server is running fine and when i open localhost in browser it opens- Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page but on opening localhost/phpmyadmin it opens some text.

Finally my problem is solved!. I dont exactly know which commands worked for me but these are the last commands i run to solve the problem.

sudo apt-get install -f

sudo apt-get remove --purge apache* && sudo apt-get remove --purge libapache* && sudo apt-get remove --purge php*

sudo apt-get remove --purge php5-common php5-cli

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server php5-mysql

sudo service apache2 restart sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin sudo service apache2 restart

sudo apt-get remove --purge php5-common php5-cli

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server php5-mysql

sudo service apache2 restart

and browse it on http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

If your problem still not solved then first install node js by-

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install nodejs

then again try all commands because i have also installed node js before running above commands i think node js is related to this javascript problem or refer questions-https://askubuntu.com/questions/308523/i-have-broken-ubuntu and https://askubuntu.com/questions/307761/php-server-setup-not-working

Try this:

localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php

If it works, it seems the problem of apache loading javascript through alias (/phpmyadmin is an alias of /usr/share/phpmyadmin).

I was using the previous URL for a while then I found the solution by accident actually after I simply changed the basic apache root which was "/var/www/html/" to somewhere else. Then
