How to Install phpMyAdmin on CentOS 7?

phpMyAdmin is a web-based GUI tool to manage your MySQL and MariaDB Databases. It is an Open-source and free tool. Following are the steps to install phpMyAdmin on Centos 7.

1. We will install EPEL repository first because cPanel doesn't have access to phpMyAdmin within its software repository By Default.
   
   

   #sudo yum install -y epel-release

2. Install the Apache server with the below command.
   
   

   # sudo yum install httpd -y

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

   
   
   
7. Start the Apache Server.
   
   

   # systemctl start httpd

13. Open it with the vi editor.
    
    

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
