Complete that lab if not done so already!

Installing phpMyAdmin:

First, we want to install php-mbstring:

Then restart httpd with sudo systemctl restart httpd

Then restart php-fpm with sudo systemctl restart php-fpm

Then we will navigate to /var/www/html and in here we will download the latest version of phpMyAdmin:

Then we will make a directory for phpMyAdmin and un-tar the phpMyAdmin file we downloaded into the new directory using mkdir phpMyAdmin && tar -xvzf phpMyAdmin-latest-all-languages.tar.gz -C phpMyAdmin --strip-components 1

If all was done correctly it should all look like this:

Then we will remove the tar file with rm phpMyAdmin-latest-all-languages.tar.gz

Then we should double check that MariaDB is still running:

Now if we navigate to public-dns/phpMyAdmin we will be presented with a login page and we can log in with the root user we made earlier
