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

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:





    61
    
    
    





    62
    
    
    
<pre>





    63
    
    
    
system-config-securitylevel





    64
    
    
    
</pre>





    65
    
    
    





    66
    
    
    
Firewall configuration is specific to different Unix distributions, so consult a guide on how to do this on non-RedHat machines.
