    By RahulMay 21, 20202 Mins Read

    The current phpMyAdmin version is compatible with PHP 7.1 and newer and MySQL 5.5 and newer. This tutorial will help you with the installation and configuration of phpMyAdmin on the CentOS 8 Linux system.

    Step 1 – Prerequisites

    We are assuming you already have installed the MySQL server on CentOS 8 operating system. So just install the other required packages to run and access phpMyAdmin.

    sudo dnf install httpd wget unzip
    sudo dnf install php php-pdo php-pecl-zip php-json php-mbstring php-mysqlnd
    

    Once the installation finished, enable and start httpd web server.

    sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
    sudo systemctl start httpd.service
    

    Step 2 – Install phpMyAdmin

    Your system is ready for the phpMyAdmin installation. Download the latest phpMyAdmin archive from the official download page, or use the below commands to download phpMyAdmin 5.0.1 on your system.

    After downloading extract archive and move to the proper location.

    wget https://files.phpmyadmin.net/phpMyAdmin/5.0.1/phpMyAdmin-5.0.1-all-languages.zip
    unzip phpMyAdmin-5.0.1-all-languages.zip
    mv phpMyAdmin-5.0.1-all-languages /usr/share/phpmyadmin
    

    Then create tmp directory and set the proper permissions.

    mkdir /usr/share/phpmyadmin/tmp
    chown -R apache:apache /usr/share/phpmyadmin
    chmod 777 /usr/share/phpmyadmin/tmp
    

    Step 3 – Configure phpMyAdmin

    Now, you need to configure web server to serve phpMyAdmin on network. Create Apache configuration file for phpMyAdmin and edit in text editor:

    vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
    

    add the below content to file.

    Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin
     
    <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/>
       AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
       <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
         # Apache 2.4
         <RequireAny>
          Require all granted
         </RequireAny>
       </IfModule>
    </Directory>
     
    <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup/>
       <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
    # Apache 2.4
         <RequireAny>
           Require all granted
         </RequireAny>
       </IfModule>
    </Directory>

    Save your file and close it. The systems with SELinux enabled needs to set proper permissions to allow SELinux policies

    chcon -Rv --type=httpd_sys_content_t /usr/share/phpmyadmin/*
    

    After making all the changes, make sure to start the Apache service to reload all settings.

    systemctl restart httpd.service
    

    Step 4 – Adjust Firewall

    The systems with enabled firewalls need to allow HTTP service from the firewall. Run the below commands to open a port for the webserver in the firewall.

    sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http
    sudo firewall-cmd --reload
    

    Step 5 – Access phpMyAdmin

    All done. You have finished the setup with the phpMyAdmin on CentOS 8 Linux machine. Now access phpMyAdmin with the below IP.

    http://your-server-ip/phpmyadmin
    

    Replace your-server-ip with the localhost (for the local machine) for server IP address.

    centos 8 phpmyadmin

    Log in with the username and password used to access MySQL on the command line.

      I followed this instructions and had only one problem, got this on the browser:
      “Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require the following PHP extensions to be installed: xml”

      Solved it with this:

      # dnf install php-xml

      # systemctl restart httpd.service

      be aware to the folder phpmyadmin and phpMyAdmin I had to replace all the commands because linux is case sensitive.

      Nonetheless it worked 🙂
