This tutorial explains how to setup phpMyAdmin on your CentOS 7 system.

  • Additional EPEL or IUS repositories should be installed on your system.
  • PHPMySQL and Apache2 should be installed on your system.
 
Summary
  1. Install phpMyAdmin

  3. Restart Apache2

1. Install phpMyAdmin

First, you will need to install phpMyAdmin on your system.

Command: sudo yum install phpmyadmin

2. Configure phpMyAdmin

Now you need to configure phpMyAdmin to be able to connect to the web interface.

Command: sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

Output:

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
 <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
  # Apache 2.4
  <RequireAny>
    Require all granted
    Require ip 127.0.0.1
    Require ip ::1
  </RequireAny>
 </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>

Add the following line in the configuration file as shown in the output above.
