Pre-Flight Check
  • These instructions are intended specifically for installing phpMyAdmin on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
  • I’ll be working from an XWEB Core Managed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server, and I’ll be logged in as root.
  • A LAMP, Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP, must be installed on your server. If you’re working from an XWEB Core Managed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server as I am, then the LAMP stack is already installed!

 

Step 1: Install phpMyAdmin

First, you’ll follow a simple best practice: ensuring the list of available packages is up to date before installing anything new.

apt-get -y update


Then it’s a matter of just running one command for installation via apt-get:

apt-get -y install phpmyadmin


Step 2: Basic Configuration


As the installation runs you’ll be asked a few simple questions regarding the basic configuration of phpMyAdmin.
