I also faced same problem when i installed it first and used localhost/phpmyadmin. after searching alot i found there is a funda of Aliasing in http apache server. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#alias , this link will help you. you have to redirect link of phpmyadmin in apache2's conf.d. i created a file name phpmyadmin.conf in /etc/apache2/conf.d edited it by writing -> Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin as my phpmyadmin is extracted in /usr/share/phpmyadmin try it else follow link . might be it could be helpful to you.
