This article will help you to install phpMyAdmin on CentOS/RedHat System.

Prerequsities

In order to use PHPMyAdmin, you must have PHP, MySQL and Apache installed on your system. Also, you need PHP-MySQL or PHP-MySQLi module enabled in PHP configuration. For the current version of PHPMyAdmin 4.7.2, the requirements are as follows.

Apache >= 2.2
PHP >= 5.5
MySQL/MariaDB >= 5.5

Use the tutorial: Installing Apache MySQL PHP on CentOS and RedHat

Step 1 – Enable Remi Repository

phpMyAdmin most updated package is available in Remi repository. Install it in your system using the following commands.

### CentOS/RHEL 7 ###
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

### CentOS/RHEL 6 ###
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm

Step 2 – Install PhpMyAdmin on CentOS

After enabling Remi repository on your system, let’s start the with the installation of phpMyAdmin using yum package manager. All the dependencies will automatically be installed.

yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-test  install phpMyAdmin

Step 3 – Configure PhpMyAdmin

phpMyAdmin by default allowed to access from localhost only. If you want to make it accessible from remote computers edit Apache configuration file of phpMyAdmin.

sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

Now check for below section. Change Require local to Require all granted, This will disable local restriction access and phpMyAdmin will be accessible from the network.

Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
   AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

   <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.4
     Require all granted
   </IfModule>
   <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.2
     Order Deny,Allow
     Deny from All
     Allow from 127.0.0.1
     Allow from ::1
   </IfModule>
</Directory>

Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

# Apache 2.4

Require all granted

</IfModule>

# Apache 2.2

Order Deny,Allow

Deny from All

Allow from 127.0.0.1

Allow from ::1

</IfModule>

</Directory>

After updating phpMyAdmin Apache configuration file, restart Apache service to reload new settings.

service httpd restart

Step 4 – Access phpMyAdmin in Browser

Now you can access phpMyAdmin in a browser using the following URL. Change svr1.tecadmin.net with your server IP/FQDN.

http://svr1.tecadmin.net/phpMyAdmin/

Login Details: Use MySQL username and password.

Congratulation’s You have successfully installed phpMyAdmin. Using single phpMyAdmin we can manage multiple MySQL servers by adding multiple remote MySQL server. Use this article to add multiple MySQL hosts in phpMyAdmin.

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
