It is not a good idea to use a symlink in this case IF the
installation in /usr/share/phpmyadmin is owned by root. Not only do
you need to add followsymlinks but apache should be running as root as
well (generally a bad idea). IMHO, if the installation is in
/usr/share/phpmyadmin , it is wiser to copy it from there into
/var/www .
