intall phpmyadmin into LEMP server

and when I follow this tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu-20-04 i can’t run this command to install packages: sudo apt install phpmyadmin php-mbstring php-zip php-gd php-json php-curl error : E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘sudo dpkg --configure -a’ to correct the problem.

Hello,

In case that you already have Nginx and PHP installed, what you could do is to just download PHPmyAdmin directly rather than installing it via apt.

To do so you could just run:

wget https://files.phpmyadmin.net/phpMyAdmin/5.0.2/phpMyAdmin-5.0.2-all-languages.zip

Note: if you don’t have upzip already installed you can install it with:

sudo apt install unzip

After that unzip the archive:

unzip phpMyAdmin-5.0.2-all-languages.zip

Rename the folder:

mv phpMyAdmin-5.0.2-all-languages phpmyadmin

Move the phpMyAdmin folder to your document root:

sudo mv phpmyadmin /var/www/html

Note: change the /var/www/html path in case you are using a custom virtual host with a non-standard document root

Then finally change the ownership:

sudo chown -R www-data: /var/www/html/phpmyadmin

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Bobby

Hi @adrosonline,

I would like to turn your attention to the following paragraph:

Create a symbolic link between phpMyAdmin and your site’s directory. If you were using the previous tutorial, it may be still located in the nginx default directory, otherwise link it with the appropriate place:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /usr/share/nginx/www
``

The above assumes that your Nginx's default directory is /usr/share/nginx/www which you might have changed or disabled the default Nginx config located in ```/etc/nginx2/sites-enabled/```
