04install_phpmyadmin.md

Note: Running phpmyadmin in a non secure http connection is not recommended as username and password are not encrypted.

1. Install the required dependencies.

$ sudo yum install php70-mbstring.x86_64 php70-zip.x86_64 -y

2. Restart Apache.

$ sudo service httpd restart

3. Navigate to the Apache document root at /var/www/html.

$ cd /var/www/html

4. Select a source package for the latest phpMyAdmin release from https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads. To download the file directly to your instance, copy the link and paste it into a wget command, as in this example:

$ wget https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/phpMyAdmin-latest-all-languages.tar.gz

5. Create a phpMyAdmin folder and extract the package into it using the following command.

$ mkdir phpMyAdmin && tar -xvzf phpMyAdmin-latest-all-languages.tar.gz -C phpMyAdmin --strip-components 1

6. Delete the phpMyAdmin-latest-all-languages.tar.gz tarball.

$ rm phpMyAdmin-latest-all-languages.tar.gz

7. (Optional) If the MySQL server is not running, start it now.

$ sudo service mysqld start

8. In a web browser, type the URL of your phpMyAdmin installation. This URL is the public DNS address (or the public IP address) of your instance followed by a forward slash and the name of your installation directory. For example: http://my.public.dns.amazonaws.com/phpMyAdmin
