How to install phpMyAdmin – 2.11.3 on CentOS 5.

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.

Thanks, please visit my blogs http://panupongsk.blogspot.com , if you have a time.

Greate guide,it helped me very much thank you

Hello Folks,
It’s Working

Thanks

yayy it worked

Good tutorial, but I’m getting the error “You don’t have permission to “phpmyadmin” server folder. I’ve tried chown -R and chmod 0700 commands but in vain.

cd /var/html/www/

or

cd /var/www/html/ This is my dir settings when I installed Apache,Mysql and PHP

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

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

Hello

I’m just not sure about this

:
$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘auth_type’] = ‘http‘; # default is cookies
:

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

Thank you

Really helpful!!

Hi guys, thanks so much. I am new to linux. I follow the steps but this is the error I get.

phpMyAdmin – Error

Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. – Documentation

I follow the steps but still have the below error. Can anybody help?

phpMyAdmin – Error

Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. – Documentation

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?

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
