PhpMyAdmin is available in Ubuntu&#8217;s default repositories. So, We are going to use the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: All the commands in this tutorial are running withthe root permission. You have to use the <strong>sudo<\/strong> command if you are not using the root user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we start with updating the package list with the below command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>root@iswblog:~$ apt-get update<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Install phpMyAdmin with the below command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>root@iswblog:~$ apt-get install phpmyadmin<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>During the installation process, you will be asked to choose the web-server ( Apache or Lighttpd ). But we are not going to use both of them, that&#8217;s why we do not choose any of them. Just press the <strong>tab<\/strong> key and select the <strong>OK<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.itsupportwale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/phpMyAdmin-with-Nginx-on-Ubuntu-18.04-prompt-for-server.jpg?fit=758%2C379&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"phpMyAdmin-with-Nginx-on-Ubuntu-18.04-prompt-for-server\" class=\"wp-image-523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itsupportwale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/phpMyAdmin-with-Nginx-on-Ubuntu-18.04-prompt-for-server.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/itsupportwale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/phpMyAdmin-with-Nginx-on-Ubuntu-18.04-prompt-for-server-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/itsupportwale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/phpMyAdmin-with-Nginx-on-Ubuntu-18.04-prompt-for-server-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/itsupportwale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/phpMyAdmin-with-Nginx-on-Ubuntu-18.04-prompt-for-server-1024x512.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, you will be prompted to configuring the phpMyAdmin database. Select <strong>Yes<\/strong> and set a strong password for the PHPMyAdmin user for MySQL access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The installation will complete now. Here we use the Nginx web server that&#8217;s why we need to do some configuration in Nginx so that it can serve the PHPMyAdmin application files. We are going to create a symbolic link of PHPMyAdmin application files in our Nginx document root folder with the help of below command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>root@iswblog:~# ln -s \/usr\/share\/phpmyadmin \/var\/www\/html\/phpmyadmin<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After that step, our PhpMyAdmin installation is now operational. We can now access the application interface with entering our servers IP address or domain name followed by &#8220;<strong>\/phpmyadmin<\/strong>&#8221; in our web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>http:\/\/server_domain_or_IP\/phpmyadmin<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"456\" height=\"490\" src=\"https:\/\/itsupportwale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/phpMyAdmin-with-Nginx-on-Ubuntu-18.04-prompt-login.png\" alt=\"phpMyAdmin-with-Nginx-on-Ubuntu-18.04-prompt-login\" class=\"wp-image-528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itsupportwale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/phpMyAdmin-with-Nginx-on-Ubuntu-18.04-prompt-login.png 456w, https:\/\/itsupportwale.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/phpMyAdmin-with-Nginx-on-Ubuntu-18.04-prompt-login-279x300.png 279w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now login with any of your mysql users which are created by you or you can start with the root user.

So here we are going to change the default URL of the PHPMyAdmin web interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, the application is having the URL &#8220;http:\/\/server_domain_or_IP\/phpmyadmin&#8221; . We will change it to something non-standard. So that it will be harder to access the web application. First, navigate to the document root of Nginx where we create the symbolic link for the PHPMyAdmin and then run the below command :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>root@iswblog:~# mv phpmyadmin mycustomname<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Change <strong>mycustomname<\/strong> with your own alternate name. After this command, you can access your phpmyadmin web interface with the below URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>http:\/\/server_domain_or_IP\/mycustomname<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After doing the above procedures, you will be able to manage your MySql server from a secure web interface. Phpmyadmin providing most of the functionality available via the MySQL command line. Now you learned how to Install and Secure phpMyAdmin with Nginx on Ubuntu 18.04.  Thanks for Reading.
