I installed phpmyadmin through the command sudo aptitude install phpmyadmin
When I go to http://serverip/phpmyadmin/ I get the following:
Connection Interrupted
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

I believe it has something to do with some problems I have with the virtualhosts but I am not sure.

Any thoughts?

I followed another suggestion and executed the following command:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin

I pointed the browser to http://myip/phpmyadmin :no luck

I'm using Lighttpd, but I setup an alias in my virtual hosts configuration that pointed /phpmyadmin to /usr/share/phpmyadmin.

I woulda thought the symbolic link thing would have worked as well, though.

If you have any other virtual hosts, are they working ok ? Restarted your webserver ? Assuming you're on either Debian or ubuntu, did the post-installation/configuration script ask whether to automatically configure a web server for you ?

You should be able to reconfigure it (i.e. set up the virtual host bits) for Apache/Lighttpd with

 sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin

I re-installed Apache. That fixed the problem. I am still not sure why it failed in the first place.
