This describes a quick and dirty phpMySQLAdmin installation on Debian. Just to be clear – this is NOT the way to install this on a public/production server!
# Install the module, use default configuration, specify password to existing DB root@server:/$ apt-get install phpmyadmin # This should already be there: # apt-get install php5-mysql # Locate your php.ini file root@server:/$ updatedb root@server:/$ locate php.ini /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini # Activate the MySQL extension # (Error message: "The mysqli|mysql extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.") root@server:/$ nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini --> Add: --> extension=mysqli.so # Add access to phpMyAdmin web interface to the default/root web page root@server:/$ cd /var/www/html root@server:/var/www/html$ ls -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin
Here we go: http://127.0.0.1:80/phpmyadmin/
