That&#8217;s where <strong>phpMyAdmin<\/strong> comes in. It provides a web-based interface to handle MySQL or MariaDB databases easily. In this blog post, we\u2019ll walk you through how to <strong>install and configure phpMyAdmin<\/strong> on a Linux server (Ubuntu-based) using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vicservers.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Vicservers<\/strong><\/a> hosting.<\/p>\n<h2>What is phpMyAdmin?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>phpMyAdmin<\/strong> is an open-source PHP tool designed to handle the administration of MySQL\/MariaDB over the web. You can use it to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create, modify, and delete databases<\/li>\n<li>Execute SQL queries<\/li>\n<li>Manage users and permissions<\/li>\n<li>Import\/export databases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s a must-have for developers, WordPress site owners, and web admins.<\/p>\n<h2>Prerequisites<\/h2>\n<p>To follow this guide, you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Linux server (Ubuntu 20.04\/22.04 preferred)<\/li>\n<li>Root or sudo access<\/li>\n<li>Apache or NGINX web server installed<\/li>\n<li>MySQL or MariaDB installed<\/li>\n<li>PHP and required extensions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> VicServers clients with cPanel can install phpMyAdmin through <strong>cPanel by default<\/strong>. This guide is for VPS or dedicated server users.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1: Update Your Server<\/h2>\n<p>Start by updating your package list:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-bash\">sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt upgrade -y\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This ensures you have the latest security patches and dependencies.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Install Apache, PHP, and MySQL (If Not Already Installed)<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re starting from scratch:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-bash\">sudo apt install apache2 php php-mysql mysql-server unzip -y\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Ensure Apache and MySQL are running:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-bash\">sudo systemctl start apache2\r\nsudo systemctl start mysql\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Enable them on boot:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-bash\">sudo systemctl enable apache2\r\nsudo systemctl enable mysql\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 3: Install phpMyAdmin<\/h2>\n<p>Install phpMyAdmin using the package manager:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-bash\">sudo apt install phpmyadmin -y\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>During installation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose <strong>Apache2<\/strong> as the web server<\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>Yes<\/strong> to configure a database for phpMyAdmin<\/li>\n<li>Set a password for the <strong>phpmyadmin user<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you don\u2019t see the selection prompt, run:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-bash\">sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 4: Enable the phpMyAdmin Configuration<\/h2>\n<p>phpMyAdmin creates a configuration file at <code>\/etc\/phpmyadmin\/apache.conf<\/code>.
