Install( and configure) phpMyAdmin for LAMP correctly

PhpMyAdmin is a nice database management and administration tool, it is easy to install it, but some people are having problems making it work under apache, that’s because it needs configuration. I presume you already have LAMP installed and configured on your machine. In this guide I'm going to teach on how to correctly install phpMyAdmin( because by just installing it through Synaptic package manager you cant get it to work ).

Just in case you haven’t installed phpMyAdmin yet, type the following line in the Terminal:

apt-get install phpmyadmin

To set up under Apache all you need to do is include the following line in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, first type the following command to open up this file:

gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Add the following line of code inside apache2.conf:

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Now restart Apache:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
