# Install phpMyAdmin on CentOS 7

PhpMyAdmin is a convenient way to manage MySQL/MariaDB for those who prefer a browser-based interface over the traditional command-line interface. Learn how to install and use phpMyAdmin on a Cloud Server with Linux (CentOS 7).

## Requirements

- A Cloud Server with Linux.
- MySQL/MariaDB installed and running.
- PHP installed and running.

---

### Note

PHP and MySQL/MariaDB are installed and running on a Standard Linux installation by default. If your server was created with a Minimal installation, you will need to install and configure PHP and MySQL/MariaDB before you proceed.

To install phpMyAdmin on CentOS 7, first install the EPEL repository:

```none
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Then install phpMyAdmin with the command:

```none
sudo yum install phpmyadmin
```

Next, you will need to edit the configuration file to allow access from your desktop computer. To find your IP address, you can simply [search Google for "What's my IP address."](https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=what%27s+my+ip+address&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)

Open the configuration file for editing:

```none
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf
```

Change the lines which read:

```none
Require ip 127.0.0.1 
Allow from 127.0.0.1
```

These lines are repeated, so you will need to change four lines in total.

Change the IP address 127.0.0.1 to your IP address:

```none
Require ip 192.168.0.1
Allow from 192.168.0.1
```

Then save and exit the file.

Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

```none
systemctl restart httpd
```

You can now access phpMyAdmin at "".
