Install phpMyAdmin¶

You are not required to install phpMyAdmin for Appion or Leginon, however, it is a useful tool for interfacing with the mysql databases.

Install supporting packages¶

Name:	Download site:	yum package name	SuSE rpm name
PHP	http://php.net/downloads.php	php
php-mysql		php-mysql

Install phpMyAdmin¶

If you have not already installed phpMyAdmin, do so. The yum installation is:

sudo yum -y install phpMyAdmin

Configure phpMyAdmin¶

Edit the phpMyAdmin config file /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php and change the following lines:

sudo nano /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot']     = FALSE;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']          = 'mysqlserver.INSTITUTE.EDU';

Edit the phpMyAdmin apache config file /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf and change the following lines:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   allow from 127.0.0.1
   allow from YOUR_IP_ADDRESS
</Directory>

Note: If you want to access phpMyAdmin from another computer, you can also add it to this config file with an allow from tag

Restart Web Server¶

Next restart the web server to take on the new setting

sudo /sbin/service httpd restart

Test the configuration¶

To test the phpMyAdmin configuration, point your browser to http://YOUR_IP_ADDRESS/phpMyAdmin or http://localhost/phpMyAdmin and login with the usr_object user.

A common problem is that the firewall may be blocking access to the web server and mysql server. On CentOS/Fedora you can configure this with the system config:

system-config-securitylevel

Firewall configuration is specific to different Unix distributions, so consult a guide on how to do this on non-RedHat machines.
