Now open the phptest.php file in your browser using http://192.168.1.200. Scroll down and you will see the mysql module will be presented there.

Install phpMyAdmin

phpMyAdmin is a free open source web interface tool, used to manage your MySQL databases. By default phpMyAdmin is not found in CentOS official repositories. So let us install it using EPEL repository.

Download and install EPEL Repository first.

# wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

Install it using RPM command

# rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

Now install phpMyAdmin

# yum install phpmyadmin -y

Configure phpMyAdmin

Open the phpmyadmin.conf file and make the changes as shown below.

# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

This is the code What we can see in phpMyAdmin.conf file

Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

## Comment the following Section ##
#<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
#   <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
#     # Apache 2.4
#     <RequireAny>
#       Require ip 127.0.0.1
#       Require ip ::1
#     </RequireAny>
#   </IfModule>
#   <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
#     # Apache 2.2
#     Order Deny,Allow
#     Deny from All
#     Allow from 127.0.0.1
#     Allow from ::1
#   </IfModule>
#</Directory>

Open the “config.inc.php” file and change from “cookie” to “http” to change the authentication in phpMyAdmin.

# cp /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config.sample.inc.php /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php 

# vim /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php 

Change the Cookie to httpd in this code

/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http';

Restart the Apache service.

# /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Now you can access the phpmyadmin console using http://192.168.1.200/phpmyadmin/

Enter your MySQL username and password which you have given in previous steps. In my case its “root” and “admin123$”.

Now you will get the phpmyadmin page as shown below.

Thats it. Now the LAMP server is up and running.

And install the following PHP modules too..

# yum install php-mcrypt php-pdo php-cli php-mysql php-gd php-xml libtool-ltdl mhash mcrypt -y

Here i am going to create a database called videodb and database user called root with password admin123$ .
