phpmyadmin “Not Found” after install on Apache, Ubuntu

After installing phpmyadmin, it seems I should be able to access it at http://localhost/phpmyadmin but apache returns a Not Found error. Did this guide leave out a configuration step somewhere? I have already tried restarting the apache service. 

Run the following command in terminal:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/
