What is PHPMyAdmin?
PhpMyAdmin is an open software source programmed in PHP and to manage MySQL databases, we will remember the name says it all, that in the chapter previous install MariaDB, but not passing anything, they were compatible. The reason why we install PHPMyAdmin is easy to manage our databases in a virtual way.
Databases are scheduled using SQL structures (not all, but if the majority) with PHPMyAdmin management is visual, and can also enter SQL commands, view tables as if it were a sheet of Excel and even export the data. It is a great tool to start working with them or even to be able to visualize the data and structures.
Installation
As up to now install the software is simple, a single command:
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
The first thing will indicate that server we are using, click on Apache and is continuing.
Then he tells us the password of the database (logical to be able to interact with it)
And finally asked us for a password to access and the confirmation of the same.
Modifying Apache for your operating
We must add a line in Apache.conf
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
As we all know nano is the Ubuntu text editor (one of them)
And add the following line
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
To let know you that we have installed this tool, finally reseteamos Apache.
sudo service apache2 restart
Security
Updating Apache
PhpMyAdmin has certain security problems which we will «tune» to make it a little safer.
First we will require installing some applications additional of Apache.
sudo apt-get install apache2-utils
Then we are going to configure Apache, recalls:
sudo nano /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
And we seek the following sequence and add AllowOverrideAll
<Directory sr/share/phpmyadmin=""></Directory>
Options FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
...
...
Configuring .htaccess
Configure the .htaccess file used to configure features in that directory.
sudo nano /usr/share/phpmyadmin/.htaccess
And add the following
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.phpmyadmin.htpasswd
Require valid-user
Where:
- AuthType: This directive selects the type of user authentication that you will use for a directory. Only Basic and Digest options are implemented currently. In order to function properly, this directive has to be accompanied by AuthName and Require directives, and directives such as AuthUserFile and AuthGroupFile to work.
- AuthName: This directive specifies the domain name that is displayed to request authorization to access a directory. This domain name is shown to the client so that the user knows which user name and password to enter. AuthName takes only one argument; If the domain name contains a space, you must write in quotation marks. To work correctly, this directive must be used together with AuthType and Require directives, and directives such as AuthUserFile and AuthGroupFile to work.
- AuthUserFile: The directory where the file is located.
- Require valid-user: indicates that only registered users will have access to this place.
Create htpasswd
We are going to create the password file, to do this use the following command.
sudo htpasswd - c /etc/apache2/.phpmyadmin.htpasswd username
Instead of username the name you want.
It will ask you to enter the password for that user and we repeat it.
We restore Apache, remember
sudo service apache2 restart
We enjoy phpMyAdmin
The last us is simply access
http://Direcci on/phpmyadmin /
In my case
http://192.168.1.3/phpmyadmin/
