    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

    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.

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

    service httpd restart

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

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

      I just installed on Centos 6 on a dedicated server. The install following these instructions went flawlessly without errors. I also followed the directions for PHP and Apache. THANK YOU! However, I cannot view phpMyAdmin in my browser. I have tried going to it via “FQDN/phpMyAdmin/” and by “http://my.IP/phpMyAdmin/” and neither works. I know its probably something I did in Step. 3 but not sure how to configure this file for web access.

      Can anyone provide a phpMyAdmin.conf scenario that will allow me to access via web??

      Thank you in advance!

      This is a great article and is laid out for a very easy installation. Thank you!

        HI mjdj1999,

        Please change “Allow from 192.168.1.0/24” in phpMyAdmin.conf file with your LAN ip or system ip. If you have any confustion about which ip to use. You can open it publicly like “Allow from all“
