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¶

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>
<pre>

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

h2. Restart Web Server

Next restart the web server to take on the new setting
<pre>
sudo /sbin/service httpd restart
</pre>

h2. 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:

<pre>
system-config-securitylevel
</pre>

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