    1. It’s working now. The only problem I have to work out is that I forgot the user/pass combination I had set up and Google-Fu isn’t helping. Lots of solutions, but nothing works yet.

      But thank you again for the help on this. It was a bit of a pain, and I’ll be upping the memory ASAP on the server so it’ll work a bit better.

    2. yum –enablerepo=remi install phpmyadmin will fetch v 2.11 from rpmforg which is realy old insted type:

      yum –enablerepo=remi install phpMyAdmin

      • Hi pouya,

        Yes, this depends what repositories you have installed, but if you want install it from remi repository, then you need to disable other not needed repos and install it from remi repo.

        • hi JR

          In both statements we declare remi as our repo. i’m confused why we shouldn’t type

          yum –enablerepo=epel install phpMyAdmin

          if it’s possible please elaborate more

          thanks i bookmarked your site and always check it for useful and uptodate tutorials

          Reply

          • remi repo only contains 2.11 not 3.5.2

            Reply

            • Hi pouya,

              I said that you have to disable epel & rpmforge and enable remi:

              
yum --disablerepo=epel,rpmforge --enablerepo=remi install phpMyAdmin

              Could you also post output of following commands:

              
uname -a

lsb_release -a

yum repolist

yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=remi list phpMyAdmin

              My output from remi repo is following:

              
yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=remi list phpMyAdmin
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * remi: fr2.rpmfind.net

phpMyAdmin.noarch                    3.5.2.2-1.el6.remi                    @remi

              So I see currently only phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.2 on remi repository.

    4. JR As I was saying I’ back :). Sorry to bother you but I’m a linux noob.

      Followed your instructions wit success.
      My issue is that since this is a VPS I don’t have aces to localhost. therefore I must access phpmyadmin from web.

      How Do I do that. I’ve tried putting local host /phpmyadmin in the virtual host config with no success.
      Also tried putting it in default config without results.

      Thanks !

      • Hi again Mosfet :)

        This is exactly reason why I run this site, try to help other users, so feel free to ask. :D

        First a couple of questions…so you are using nginx setup, right? Do you have some domain pointing to this server and you have control to subdomains?

        Reply

        • At this moment I have 2 domains pointing to the server. In test both work fine.
          But when I’m trying to access phpmyadmin all I get is an empty page.

          Tried the /phpmyadmin method posted in the comments and changing the “pma” in examples with my actual domain expecting to load phpmysql when accessing domain.tld to get phpmyadmin.

          Reply

          • Ok, then if possible create subdomain which point to your server too:
            pma.domain.tld

            Then create virtual host file, like:

            
server {
       listen   80;
       server_name pma.domain.tld;
       access_log /var/log/nginx/phpmyadmin/access.log;
       error_log /var/log/nginx/phpmyadmin/error.log;
       root /usr/share/phpMyAdmin;
 
       location / {
           index  index.php;
       }
 
       ## Images and static content is treated different
       location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|xml)$ {
           access_log        off;
           expires           360d;
       }
 
       location ~ /\.ht {
           deny  all;
       }
 
       location ~ /(libraries|setup/frames|setup/libs) {
           deny all;
           return 404;
       }
 
       location ~ \.php$ {
           include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
           fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
           fastcgi_index index.php;
           fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/share/phpMyAdmin$fastcgi_script_name;
       }
}

            Restart Nginx and try to access http://pma.domain.tld

            Reply

            • Hi, in order to make this more easy I’ve registered a .tk tld.

              I’ve created virtual host file for that domain and tested with a hello world php example. The test and domain is http://www.phpmyadmintestdomain.tk and as you can see the “hello world ” is working just fine.

              After this :
              – I’ve created and pointed the subdomain myadmin.phpmyadmintestdomain.tk to the VPS server.
              – Made a virtual-host file ( /etc/nginx/sites-available/myadmin.phpmyadmintestdomain.tk ) and a link to thesame file in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled.
              – restart nginx ( service nginx restart )

              Without any results. Also you can access the domain and subdomain.

              THANKS !

      • Okay, problem is your php session path permissions you run php-fpm as nginx:nginx (user:group) and it can’t access session storage, because it have root:apache permissions. You have two option to fix this.

        1. Change following lines on php-fpm pool conf:
        From

        
; RPM: apache Choosed to be able to access some dir as httpd
user = nginx
; RPM: Keep a group allowed to write in log dir.
group = nginx

        To:

        
; RPM: apache Choosed to be able to access some dir as httpd
user = apache
; RPM: Keep a group allowed to write in log dir.
group = apache

        Restart PHP-FPM.

        2. Change /var/lib/php/session user and group to nginx

        
chown -R root:nginx /var/lib/php/session

        Or 

        
chown -R nginx:nginx /var/lib/php/session

        Then try again access phpMyAdmin.

    10. Hi,
      Great tutorial, but I am having a strange issue I can not find anywhere.
      running CentOS 6.3
      Apache 2.2.15
      php 5.4.8
      MySQL 5.5.28

      when I go to http://mysite.com/phpmyadmin I get this on the screen.
      phpMyAdmin –

      I installed phpMyAdmin with Yum, following your tutorial.

      When I put phpMyAdmin in one of my websites public_html directories it works fine. I would rather have it in the /usr/shared/phpMyAdmin directory though.
      I installed SquirrelMail in the /usr/shared/squirrelmail directory, and it works as it is suppose to. I have tried a few different versions of phpMyAdmin and get the same thing.

      Doing the command curl -I http://localhost/phpmyadmin from the ssh I get this.
      [[email protected] ~]# curl -I http://localhost/phpmyadmin
      HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

                Thanks! It should work if your external ip is that 72.8…and you have reloaded/restarted httpd after this change. Could you also check your httpd access and error logs, and check if you have something suspicious there?

                • Thanks for the help. I went to access it so it could be the most recent in the logs and it worked. No clue why it started working all of a sudden. I have not done anything to the server sense the last time I tried it and it did not work.

        Could you try same on localhost, example using curl, and post output:

      • Oh my mistake, actually right command is same with slash:

        
curl -I http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

        But actually looks like, it’s running.

        So then check /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf and add following:

        

   
     # Apache 2.4
     Require local
   
   
     # Apache 2.2
     Order Deny,Allow
     Deny from All
     Allow from 127.0.0.1
     Allow from ::1
     Allow from [your external ip address here]

        And then restart apache:

        
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

## OR ##

service httpd restart

    14. This using curl and post output :

      # Apache 2.2
      Order Deny,Allow
      Deny from All
      Allow from 127.0.0.1
      Allow from ::1
      Allow from 192.168.1.67

      I’ve followed the steps you give, but the problem still remains the same. “Forbidden
