Step #1: Turn on EPEL repo
phpMyAdmin is not included in default RHEL / CentOS repo. So turn on EPEL repo as described here:
$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
# rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Step #2: Install phpMyAdmin on a CentOS / RHEL Linux
Type the following yum command to download and install phpMyAdmin:
# yum search phpmyadmin
# yum -y install phpmyadmin
Install MySQL server on a CentOS/RHEL
You need download and install MySQL server on CentOS/RHEL using the following yum command:
# yum install mysql-server mysql
Turn on and start the mysql service, type:
# chkconfig mysqld on
# service mysqld start
Set root password and secure mysql installation by running the following command:
# mysql_secure_installation
Step #3: Configure phpMyAdmin
You need to edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf file, enter:
# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf
It allows only localhost by default. You can setup HTTPD SSL as described here (mod_ssl) and allow LAN / WAN users or DBA user to manage the database over www. Find line that read follows
Require ip 127.0.0.1
Replace with your workstation IP address:
Require ip 10.1.3.53
Again find the following line:
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Replace as follows:
Allow from 10.1.3.53
Save and close the file. Restart Apache / httpd server:
# service httpd restart
Open a web browser and type the following url:
https://your-server-ip/phpMyAdmin/
