Install and secure phpmyadmin with Nginx LEMP stack on Ubuntu 20.04

Posted on September 29, 2020

As I was following this tutorial https://devanswers.co/install-secure-phpmyadmin-nginx-ubuntu-20-04/, in lack of a DO tutorial existing about installing phpmyadmin on Ubuntu 20.04 with a LEMP stack, I couldn’t get phpmyadmin to work. See:

https://www.donutnetwerk.nl/phpmyadmin

Anyone know where to start troubleshooting?

Hey @katovonkatz,

It seems you have set-up the phpmyadmin in different directory other than the one specified in your Apache root /your/path/to/application .

Could you post the Apache configuration and tell me where your phpmyadmin is setup?

You can also check /var/log/nginx/error.log and post the output.

Best, Dennis

Hi @katovonkatz,

You only need to follow step 2 & 3, not the entire tutorial, to set up your phpmyadmin. Could you try steps 2 & 3 and let me know how it went?

Best, Dennis
