Hi jggimi,
Thanks for replying.
Yes I had installed from pkg_add so it was installed into the default location. (/var/www/phpMyAdmin)
I ended up just copying the folder into htdocs and that works. I'm not clear on what the purpose of the symbolic link is anyway, at least on a single website.
Just thought if anyone knew why the new symlink would not work would be nice to know.
Oh well thanks for your input.
