When I type localhost/phpmyadmin, it shows "The localhost page isn’t working localhost is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500". Please help! Apache error log is: 

[Tue Jun 14 16:35:47.699632 2016] [:error] [pid 14660] [client 192.168.0.101:44854] PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required '/usr/share/php/php-gettext/gettext.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/select_lang.lib.php on line 477

Also inside the phpmyadmin its showing this error: "Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed." Is it something I should be worried about? – chrisjzach Jun 14 at 15:57

Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed

Cause: mismatch of database user. There are several ways to fix. Execute the following command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin

The phpmyadmin package contains the script to perform this operation for you, all it needs is a user with permissions. sudo is not required if you're logged in as root, of course. It might be worth trying to drop the current phpmyadmin user.

or: check in /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php

$dbuser='root';
$dbpass='password'; // set current password between quotes ' '
$basepath='';
$dbname='phpmyadmin';
$dbserver='';
$dbport='';
$dbtype='mysql';
