Installation Guides:
Step 1: Get the latest phpMyAdmin’s official site: https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/
Change the 5.0.4 with the latest version for phpMyAdmin:
– wget https://files.phpmyadmin.net/phpMyAdmin/5.0.4/phpMyAdmin-5.0.4-all-languages.zip
– unzip phpMyAdmin-5.0.4-all-languages.zip
– mv phpMyAdmin-5.0.4-all-languages /usr/share/phpmyadmin
Step 2: Create tmp directory with proper folder permissions:
– mkdir /usr/share/phpmyadmin/tmp
– chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/phpmyadmin
– chmod 777 /usr/share/phpmyadmin/tmp
CREATE A SYMBOLIC LINK FOR phpMyAdmin:
– sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/your_domain_name.com/public_html/phpmyadmin
Step 3: Install PHP 7.4 (or specify the latest version) on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
– sudo apt update
– sudo apt install php php-cli php-fpm php-json php-common php-mysql php-zip php-gd php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear php-bcmath
– php –version
Step 4: Configure the Nginx FastCGI to use the latest php7.4-fpm.sock, replace php7.
# Enable the Nginx FastCGI with these options:
# pass PHP scripts to FastCGI server
location ~ .php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
# With php-fpm (or other unix sockets):
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
# With php-cgi (or other tcp sockets):
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
# Create a new location for phpmyadmin URL from Nginx server:
location /phpmyadmin/ {
alias /var/www/html/your_domain_name.com/public_html/phpmyadmin/;
}
Step 5: Restart the Nginx server:
– sudo nginx -s reload
Step 6: Ensure that the root@localhost have the rights to access the phpMyAdmin:
ALTER USER ‘root’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY ‘your_root_password_here’;
GRANT CREATE, ALTER, DROP, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT, REFERENCES, RELOAD on *.* TO ‘root’@’localhost’ WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ‘root’@’localhost’ WITH GRANT OPTION;
Step 7: Change the default port number for the apache2 instead of port 80, change it to 8079 or any other port number:
– sudo systemctl start apache2
– sudo systemctl status apache2
– sudo service apache2 restart
If you received an error like this:
The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret)
Step 1: Look for these files:
– /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.sample.inc.php
– /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/config.default.php
Step 2: Must have this sample data, the default value is an empty strings, so must supply this ‘blowfish_secret’ value:
$cfg[‘blowfish_secret’] = ‘MI;]UUpSZD7;Qi8q2jXRUoyhhQ79yvQT’;
