Install and secure phpmyadmin with Nginx LEMP stack on Ubuntu 20.04

Posted September 29, 2020 1.9k views
NginxPHPLEMPUbuntu 20.04

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

    Ha @denislavgavrilov , thank you for thinking along.

    You mention Apache, but I haven’t installed Apache, only Nginx.

    The phpmyadmin file is located at /usr/share/phpmyadmin. The location from which the symbolic link is made is /var/www/html/phpmyadmin.

    The error log is huge. I will post only the last part:

      Hi There,

      This is a mistake on my part. It doesn’t matter if you use NGINX or Apache - they are both WebServers. But please don’t install Apache as well! =)

      Okay, so what I can instantly notice is the following message:
      PHP message: WordPress databasefout Table ‘dn.wpoptions

      Just thinking out loud here. The problems seems to be that the query is wrong. It should be db.wpoptions or similar… the idea is, there isn’t a dn. in mysql. Unfortunately, I haven’t got this message. I will try googling around and get back to you in a while.

      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

    I did this several times, without succes. At this point, I feel things have become very messy. I have decided for a total reboot op my VPS and start again. I will get back to you when I have reached this point and let you know what I think is the solution.
