How To Install and Secure phpMyAdmin on Ubuntu 18.04

Introduction

phpMyAdmin is a web-based application that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to manage MySQL databases. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install and secure phpMyAdmin on Ubuntu 18.04.

Prerequisites

  • A server running Ubuntu 18.04.
  • A sudo user.
  • MySQL installed on your server.

Step 1: Update Your System

Before installing any package, it is always a good practice to update your system.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install phpMyAdmin

Use the following command to install phpMyAdmin:

sudo apt install phpmyadmin

During the installation process, you will be prompted to choose a web server. Select apache2 and press Enter.

When asked whether to configure the database for phpMyAdmin with dbconfig-common, select Yes and press Enter.

You will then be prompted to enter the MySQL application password. Enter the password and press Enter.

Next, you will be prompted to set a password for phpMyAdmin. Choose a strong password and press Enter.

Step 3: Configure Apache

Open the Apache configuration file in your preferred text editor:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Add the following line at the end of the file:

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Save and close the file.

Step 4: Restart Apache

Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 5: Secure phpMyAdmin

By default, phpMyAdmin is not secured, which means that anyone with access to the URL can log in and access your database. To secure phpMyAdmin, we will create a new Apache configuration file.

Create a new configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf

Add the following lines to the file:

<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin>
  AllowOverride None
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from All
  Allow from localhost
  Allow from 127.0
