Thanks so much for this step-by-step process. This really helps the new people that are just starting out on Unix and learning Unix.

You do not need step 9 – the httpd server does not need to be restarted.

You are better locating phpmyadmin in /usr/share then you do a link in www

ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html

What should I do after I did vi to config.inc.php to the file??

Thank you

I downloaded the latest phpMyAdmin-3.2.4-rc1-english.tar.gz and installed it that way instead of the wget.
When i open a firefox it comes up with
Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.11.5 not 3.2.4
Also below the language selection it says
Error
The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase
(blowfish_secret).

What does this mean?
I searched the config file and found a line like this
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ‘ ‘; /*YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE AUTH! */
I entered a password inbetween the ‘ ‘ but it still comes up with the above error.

Whats going on there?

if you want to use for centos 4.6 you must use phpMyAdmin 2.11.11.3

1. Open /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and include this line on last :
Include /etc/httpd/conf/phpmyadmin.conf

2. Make file /etc/httpd/conf/phpmyadmin.conf :

Alias /phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin

Options None
Order allow,deny
allow from all

3. ektrack phpMyAdmin 2.11.11.3 on /var/www/ and rename file to phpmyadmin

3. service httpd restart

Done try browse http://youdomain.com/phpmyadmin

thanks
