phpmyadmin will not install on CentOS 7. Dependency errors.

Question

I’m trying to install phpmyadmin on CentOS 7 using this guide – https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-with-nginx-on-a-centos-7-server, but it is not working. When I run:

yum install phpmyadmin

I get the following dependency errors:

–> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: php-tcpdf-6.1.1-1.el6.noarch (epel)

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest

If I try to install the dependencies, such as php-tidy and php-mcrypt, I get more errors:

yum install php-tidy
“No package php-tidy available”

yum install php-mcrypt
Error: Package: php-mcrypt-5.3.3-3.el6.x8664 (epel)
Requires: php(api) = 20090626
Installed: php-common-5.4.16-23.el70.3.x86_64 (@updates)
php(api) = 20100412-64

yum install php
Package php-5.4.16-23.el70.3.x8664 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Any ideas?

Try this:

yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php56 install phpmyadmin

This should install with all the dependencies.

Have you tried yum update after you installed the EPEL repo?

Yes, I ran the following:

yum install epel-release
yum update
yum install phpmyadmin

But I get the same errors.

Try to reun there 2 commands, run them as sudo user
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm

Those commands ran successfully, but unfortunately I’m getting the same dependency errors when trying to run sudo yum install phpmyadmin. I also tried installing phpMyAdmin manually, but loading it just gives me a blank page with no errors. I might just reinstall php. I ran sudo yum install php php-mysql php-fpm according to this article – https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-centos-7, but apparently that does not lay down all the dependencies for phpmyadmin to work.

I gave it a try and everything works fine. Unfortunately I don’t know what you are doing wrong. If you don’t have something you need on that droplet I suggest you destroy and start over again.

Thanks for helping. I was able to fix it by running the following:

sudo yum clean all
sudo yum install keychecker
sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install phpmyadmin

And that worked!

I’d recommend the CentOS plugin protectbase this plugin will help when dealing with multiple 3rd party repos or just EPEL/RPMForge

You can use “yum –disablerepo=[reponame] …” but that’s a single use option if you’d like to protect your system continuously then I’d highly recommend the “protectbase”

“yum install yum-plugins-protectbase”

Then add “protect=1” on the repos you’d want to protect. Aka CentOS-Base
And add “protect=0” to epel.repo this should solve most common conflicts when dealing with 3rd party repositories.

I created a more in-depth guide on my blog here Dealing with multiple repositories on CentOS 4/5/6/7
