php scripts run on Ubuntu 14.04 server, phpmyadmin does not

Question

Not sure where to go here, been looking all over the place for an answer; so, I figured I'd try here. I have an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server running apache2, mysql, php5, etc. All is running fine, my one website (which is almost entirely written in PHP) runs perfectly: accesses database and everything. My problem is that I cannot get on to phpmyadmin. Everythime I go to http://ip.address/phpmyadmin it wants to download a file instead of running the script. Everything was working fine up to about a week ago; and, I do not recall changing any settings that would have gummed up the works. I do a lot of my database work away from home; and use phpmyamin quite frequently to change and update things. so, this issue is quite the annoyance. Any help would be appreciated. Let me know what information I should post for everyone to look at; I haven't the first idea of where to start looking.

Thanks

Edit - I should add that I have Virtualmin/webmin installed running three virtual hosts. I have already tried purging phpmyadmin and reinstalling it, to no avail. I've followed several suggestions I have found to add symlinks, editing config files, checking for an instlalling modules (all which were already installed and running).

Answer 1

After discovering that it doesn't handle it correctly as PHP, you should check the methods described here . Since you already have PHP installed (other app works), go straight to part If PHP is installed .

Answer 2

Here is teh output of my httpd.conf file, if anyone is interested:

ServerName desktop

# Make sure there's only **1** line for each of these 2 directives:
# Use for PHP 4.x:
#LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
#AddHandler php-script  .php

# Use for PHP 5.x:
LoadModule php5_module  modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script  .php 

# Add index.php to your DirectoryIndex line:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

AddType text/html   .php

# PHP Syntax Coloring
# (optional but useful for reading PHP source for debugging):
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source phps
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

And here is my php5.conf file:

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
    <FilesMatch "\.ph(p3?|tml)$">
#   SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
    </FilesMatch>
    <FilesMatch "\.phps$">
#   SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
    </FilesMatch>
    # To re-enable php in user directories comment the following lines
    # (from <IfModule ...> to </IfModule>.) Do NOT set it to On as it
    # prevents .htaccess files from disabling it.
    <IfModule mod_userdir.c>
        <Directory /home/*/public_html>
#            php_admin_value engine Off
        </Directory>
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>
