A working PhpMyAdmin Nginx Conf

Posted August 31, 2014 63.2k views

Hello.
I installed PhpMyAdmin on Ubuntu 12.04 VPS LEMP.
I can access http://example.com/phpmyadmin but when i enter the User/Password it does not work - the login page is reloaded and the password gets deleted.
Any idea on what’s wrong?
Can anyone send me a working PhpMyadmin, Nginx and PHP5.5 config?

The config that worked for me is that one. Note that the line fastcgi_pass could be different depending on how your php5-fpm is configured. I recommend you to try both unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock and 127.0.0.1:9000 values

server {
[...]
        location /phpmyadmin {
               root /usr/share/;
               index index.php index.html index.htm;
               location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.php)$ {
                       try_files $uri =404;
                       root /usr/share/;
                       fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; # or 127.0.0.1:9000
                       fastcgi_index index.php;
                       fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
                       include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
               }
               location ~* ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html|xml|txt))$ {
                       root /usr/share/;
               }
        }
        location /phpMyAdmin {
               rewrite ^/* /phpmyadmin last;
        }
[...]
}

This is my phpmyadmin working configuration with https, 

server {
         listen       443;
    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/server.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/server.key;

        server_name phpmyadmin.example.loc;
        root /var/www/vhosts/pma/;
        index index.php;

        # set expiration of assets to MAX for caching
        location ~* \.(ico|css|js)(\?[0-9]+)?$ {
                expires max;
                log_not_found off;
        }


        location ~* \.php$ {
                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(.*)$;
                include fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        }
}

-Make sure to put you root path
-Make sure YOU HAVE CREATED the config file of phpmyadmin
-if you don’t want https just change the port to 80 and remove the ssl part
ssl on;
sslcertificate /etc/nginx/ssl/server.crt;
sslcertificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/server.key;
