Question

I installed virtualmin and phpmyadmin separately using the apt-get command. phpMyAdmin didn’t work because of Virtualmin’s security settings (suexec).
When I visit mydomain.com/phpmyadmin, it would download the whole PHP page instead of execute it.
I tried disabling suexec but it didn’t work.
So now I want to remove phpMyAdmin.
I removed it using the apt-get remove command and also deleted the /etc/phpmyadmin folder.
But still, when I visit mydomain.com/phpmyadmin, it downloads the page. It probably means phpmyadmin wasn’t completely deleted.

What is the problem?

Please help.

If your system is using dpkg and apt (debian, ubuntu, etc), try running the following commands in that order (be careful with the sudo rm commands):

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg -P phpmyadmin  
sudo rm -vf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo rm -vfR /usr/share/phpmyadmin
sudo service apache2 restart
