But then I wonder: why do you want to use XAMPP if you are using linux?

@emanuele , Actually I followed that guide and installed LAMP. But there is no lampp/htdocs folder under /opt and nothing when I type localhost/phpmyadmin. Advise please..

localhost/PhpMyAdmin
or
localhost/phpMyAdmin
Linux is case-sensitive.

Check /var/www or check inside httpd.conf ("locate httpd.conf" to find where it is).

The requested URL /phpMyAdmin was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

You mean, I need to keep the project folders inside /var/www ?

Is there any problem with that?
If you prefer another location you change it in the apache configuration putting whatever you like best:

No problem at all. I will try.

Which one did you follow?
The one at ubuntu.com has an "Should you get a 404" section, did you try that too?

Thanks @emanuele . A friend helped, now working. He included the phpmyadmin apache config file to the apache folder.
