But it is not common that these web hosting offers phpMyAdmin as your front-end console to access the database. Some of them are using their in-house database manager to let you manage your data. And that is what we will be showing you in this article. Which is to provide you with the steps to install and secure phpMyAdmin for your websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">What&#039;s In Here<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-66190b43aff7c\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-66190b43aff7c\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-linux-linode\/#Is_It_Possible_For_Me_To_Install_and_Secure_phpMyAdmin\" title=\"Is It Possible For Me To Install and Secure phpMyAdmin?\">Is It Possible For Me To Install and Secure phpMyAdmin?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-linux-linode\/#How_To_Install_phpMyAdmin_On_Linux_WordPress_Web_Hosting\" title=\"How To Install phpMyAdmin On Linux WordPress Web Hosting\">How To Install phpMyAdmin On Linux WordPress Web Hosting<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-linux-linode\/#1_Using_an_SSH_client_such_as_PuTTY_log_in_to_your_server\" title=\"1.

Is it possible? The answer is either a <strong><em>yes or no<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, if your web hosting contract does not include or allow you to install other tools other than what&#8217;s in the package. You have to contact your web hosting support team to check with them if they can allow you to use another database manager. Otherwise, then you have the option to install and configure phpMyAdmin to connect to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you are allowed to use another database manager and your web hosting is running in Linux. As an example, Linux 5.17.5 Linode, then we can install and secure phpMyAdmin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Install_phpMyAdmin_On_Linux_WordPress_Web_Hosting\"><\/span>How To Install phpMyAdmin On Linux WordPress Web Hosting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Developers, especially database administrators, won&#8217;t have any problems running query tasks with the MySQL database. However, for non-tech people or people with no database management experience, it will be very hard for them to work using terminals. Having a phpMyAdmin installed as a database manager can ease that problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will be working on a WordPress Linux 5.17.5 Linode environment to set up phpMyAdmin. And for the actual test, we set up a new WordPress installation in our web hosting provider, <a href=\"https:\/\/vrlps.co\/pN0srE1\/cp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Cloudways<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Using_an_SSH_client_such_as_PuTTY_log_in_to_your_server\"><\/span>1.

Without such privileges, then we won&#8217;t be able to download, install, and configure the phpMyAdmin. You can contact your web hosting support and request to provide you with the access you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cloudways-Install-phpMyAdmin-On-Linux-WordPress.webp\" alt=\"Cloudways - Install phpMyAdmin On Linux WordPress\" class=\"wp-image-1382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cloudways-Install-phpMyAdmin-On-Linux-WordPress.webp 750w, https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cloudways-Install-phpMyAdmin-On-Linux-WordPress-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Cloudways-Install-phpMyAdmin-On-Linux-WordPress-200x113.webp 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Go_to_your_websites_public_html_directory_and_download_PHPMyAdmin\"><\/span>2.

The public_html folder is an Apache web server directory where all of your web contents are served to the end-users. Hence, this will be our starting point where we will install the phpMyAdmin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open a browser and go to the phpMyAdmin download page to get the latest version&#8217;s link.

Let us use this version for our demo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go back to your SSH terminal and by using the <code><strong>wget <\/strong><\/code>command, we will download the phpMyAdmin install package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><code><strong>wget https:\/\/files.phpmyadmin.net\/phpMyAdmin\/5.2.0\/phpMyAdmin-5.2.0-all-languages.zip<\/strong><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Downloading-myPHPAdmin.webp\" alt=\"Downloading myPHPAdmin\" class=\"wp-image-1388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Downloading-myPHPAdmin.webp 750w, https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Downloading-myPHPAdmin-300x135.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Extract_PHPMyAdmin_to_start_the_installation\"><\/span>3.

But do not use the common default name &#8220;phpmyadmin&#8221; because this is the common target of the attackers. You may want to rename it something else, for this example, let&#8217;s use &#8220;lifeline&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the phpMyAdmin we downloaded was extracted to a folder named phpMyAdmin-5.2.0-all-languages. By using the command <strong><code>mv<\/code><\/strong>, we will rename this directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><code><strong>mv phpMyAdmin-5.2.0-all-languages lifeline<\/strong><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Test_the_phpMyAdmin_by_opening_the_phpMyAdmin_link_in_a_browser\"><\/span>5.

Remember, the database is the lifeline of your website and your business. If your data gets compromised, then it may ruin your business &#8211; not to mention that it can cost a lot. That is why we have to put restrictions when accessing your phpMyAdmin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Create_a_htaccess_file_in_the_PHPMyAdmin_directory\"><\/span>1. Create a .htaccess file in the PHPMyAdmin directory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we will need to create a <strong><code>.htaccess<\/code><\/strong> file (<em>if not present<\/em>) inside the phpMyAdmin directory. The .htaccess file will be the high-level configuration of the entire directory. By adding this file, it can override the default Apache configuration and will be applied only inside the directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a new .htaccess file, if it does not exist, use your server&#8217;s text editor. For this example, we will be using the <strong><code>vi<\/code><\/strong> editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong><code>vi .htaccess<\/code><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or you can also use the <strong><code>touch<\/code><\/strong> command to create the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"font-size:15px\">touch<strong><code> .htaccess<\/code><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Creating-an-.htaccess-file-in-Linux.webp\" alt=\"Creating an .htaccess file in Linux\" class=\"wp-image-1408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Creating-an-.htaccess-file-in-Linux.webp 750w, https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Creating-an-.htaccess-file-in-Linux-300x219.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Create_a_login_account_and_password_using_htpasswd\"><\/span>2.

This can be done using the <code><strong>htpasswd<\/strong><\/code> command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be asked twice for your desired password to confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><code><strong>htpasswd -c .htpasswd phpmyadmin_user<\/strong><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"588\" src=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Creating-and-adding-password-to-.htpasswd-file-in-Linux.webp\" alt=\"Creating and adding password to .htpasswd file in Linux\" class=\"wp-image-1420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Creating-and-adding-password-to-.htpasswd-file-in-Linux.webp 750w, https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Creating-and-adding-password-to-.htpasswd-file-in-Linux-300x235.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Add_Basic_Type_Password_Authentication_in_the_htaccess_file\"><\/span>3.

This means the authentication you set up is working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Basic-Authentication-using-htpasswd-and-htaccess.webp\" alt=\"Basic Authentication using htpasswd and htaccess\" class=\"wp-image-1421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Basic-Authentication-using-htpasswd-and-htaccess.webp 750w, https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Basic-Authentication-using-htpasswd-and-htaccess-300x171.webp 300w, https:\/\/gikcrib.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Basic-Authentication-using-htpasswd-and-htaccess-200x113.webp 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additional_Custom_PHP_Security_Configuration\"><\/span>Additional Custom PHP Security Configuration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the installation of the phpMyAdmin package, it comes with a file named <code><strong>config.sample.inc.php<\/strong><\/code>. We can use this to add a custom PHP security configuration for your phpMyAdmin page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you open the file <code><strong>config.sample.inc.php<\/strong><\/code> using your file editor, you will find a set of pre-made configurations. If you are an advanced user, then it shouldn&#8217;t be a problem for you to make the changes &#8211; we can discuss them on another topic.  For this article, we will just set up the basic configuration to protect your phpMyAdmin page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Create_a_configincphp_file\"><\/span>1. Create a config.inc.php file<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use either vi or touch to create the file, as how we showed you earlier when creating the .htaccess file. Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><code><strong>vi config.inc.php<\/strong><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Type_in_these_basic_PHP_security_configuration\"><\/span>2. Type in these basic PHP security configuration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you can type (or copy and paste) the following lines inside your config.inc.php file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><code><strong>$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 14400;<br>$cfg['LoginCookieRecall'] = false;<br>$cfg['AllowUserDropDatabase'] = false;<br>$cfg['ShowServerInfo'] = false;<br>$cfg['RestrictPaths'] = yes;<\/strong><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this custom PHP configuration, it will change the default cookie validity timeout.  This means that the user will be automatically kicked out\/logged out within the defined time. The configuration also will prohibit the user to delete the database and remove the server information display from the phpMyAdmin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Before_We_End_This_Article\"><\/span>Before We End This Article<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The instructions above to install and secure phpMyAdmin, although basic, we are sure that it is enough for you to start using the database tool. You now have an additional means to access your website&#8217;s database &#8211; if your web hosting already provided one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From here, you can explore more on how you can add more customization and security to your phpMyAdmin installation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is common, especially for WordPress web hosting, to use MySQL as a database to store the website&#8217;s data.
