That file has nothing to do with the web server; it is just the
phpmyadmin setup.

You has to be a configuration stanza for phpmyadmin in the Apache
configuration. If there isn't one, Apache is "disconnected" from
phpmyadmin; there is no way for Apache to know about phpmyadmin, and you
will get exactly the symptoms you have described.

One way forward (short of purging and reinstalling Apache too) would be
to copy the phpmyadmin.conf file out of /etc/apache2/conf-available on
the production server and stick it in /etc/apache2/conf-available on the
misbehaving server. Edit it if necessary, but it will probably be fine
as is, it's quite generic. Then make a link to it
in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled and restart Apache.

Regards, K.
