Install phpMyAdmin

First, you’ll follow a simple best practice: ensuring the list of available packages is up to date before installing anything new.

[root@hackthesec]# yum -y update

After That Run Following Command:-

[root@hackthesec]# yum -y install phpmyadmin

To secure phpMyAdmin we should lock down access to a specific IP address. When the phpMyAdmin package is installed, an Apache Virtual Host file is added to configure web access. Let’s edit that file:

[root@hackthesec]# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

By default, the configuration for phpMyAdmin only allows access from the server on which it is installed. so you want to allow for all or you can only use your IP address for access..

Require ip 127.0.0.1

Allow from 127.0.0.1

Require ip 127.0.0.1

Allow from 127.0.0.1

Allow from your IPadress ...

Just Commit the following line "Deny from All"

 <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.2
     Order Deny,Allow
     #Deny from All
     Allow from 127.0.0.1
     Allow from ::1
   </IfModule>

Restart Apache:
