How to Install PhPMyAdmin on Centos 7 from source

Dear Friends,

First of all we will install required repositories.

[root@itpings opt]# rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm
[root@itpings opt]# yum -y install epel-release

Now we will install apache, mariadb, mariadb-server and php56

[root@itpings opt]# yum -y install httpd mariadb mariadb-server php56w php-mbstring php-mysql php-soap

Once installed we will download phpmyadmin from phpmyadmin.net

[root@itpings opt]# wget https://files.phpmyadmin.net/phpMyAdmin/4.7.2/phpMyAdmin-4.7.2-all-languages.zip

unzip the content and move it to /var/www/html and rename the unzipped content to phpmyadmin

[root@itpings html]# unzip phpMyAdmin-4.7.2-all-languages.zip
[root@itpings html]# mv phpMyAdmin-4.7.2-all-languages.zip phpmyadmin

Now Change the ownership of the folder

[root@red html]# chown -R apache.apache phpMyAdmin
[root@red html]# chmod -R 755 phpMyAdmin

Now we will copy config.sample file to config.ini.php

[root@itpings html]# cp config.sample.inc.php config.inc.php

Now we will edit config.inc.php and only add root user and password of mysql ( Make sure you have root user and password of mysql)

/* User used to manipulate with storage */
 $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlhost'] = '';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlport'] = '';
 $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'root';
 $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'itpings123';

Now to visit phpmyadmin visit http://<your-ip-address>/phpmyadmin and provide the above user and password.

Done
