PhpMyAdmin is a free, open-source tool that provides a web-based interface to manage MySQL databases. In this guide, we will walk you through how to install PhpMyAdmin on Ubuntu 22.04 and secure it with a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate.<\/p>\n
Start by updating your system’s package list to ensure you have the latest updates:<\/p>\n
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 2: Install Apache Web Server and MySQL<\/h2>\n
If you haven’t already installed Apache and MySQL, you can do so by running the following commands:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install apache2 mysql-server<\/code><\/pre>\nOnce installed, start and enable Apache and MySQL to run at boot:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start apache2\r\nsudo systemctl enable apache2\r\nsudo systemctl start mysql\r\nsudo systemctl enable mysql<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 3: Install PHP<\/h2>\n
PhpMyAdmin requires PHP to run. Install PHP and the necessary extensions with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 4: Install PhpMyAdmin<\/h2>\n
Now you can install PhpMyAdmin using the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install phpmyadmin<\/code><\/pre>\nDuring the installation, you will be prompted to choose the web server for PhpMyAdmin. Select Apache, and when prompted, choose to configure the database automatically using dbconfig-common.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Configure Apache for PhpMyAdmin<\/h2>\n
Once PhpMyAdmin is installed, you need to enable the PhpMyAdmin configuration for Apache:<\/p>\n
sudo ln -s \/etc\/phpmyadmin\/apache.conf \/etc\/apache2\/conf-available\/phpmyadmin.conf\r\nsudo a2enconf phpmyadmin.conf\r\nsudo systemctl reload apache2<\/code><\/pre>\nStep 6: Secure PhpMyAdmin with Let’s Encrypt SSL<\/h2>\n
To secure your PhpMyAdmin installation with SSL, you’ll need to install Certbot, a tool that automates the process of obtaining SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt. Install Certbot with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache<\/code><\/pre>\nRun Certbot to obtain and install an SSL certificate for your domain:<\/p>\n
sudo certbot --apache -d your_domain.com<\/code><\/pre>\nFollow the on-screen instructions to complete the SSL setup. Certbot will automatically configure Apache to use the SSL certificate.<\/p>\n
Step 7: Access PhpMyAdmin<\/h2>\n
Once the installation is complete, you can access PhpMyAdmin by visiting https:\/\/your_domain.com\/phpmyadmin<\/code>. You should now see the PhpMyAdmin login page secured with SSL.<\/p>\nConclusion<\/h2>\n
