If there is a tool that has helped in the management of MySQL / MariaDB data is PHPMyAdmin both professionals and students or even enthusiasts.

So, what is PHPMyAdmin?

According to the project website,

phpMyAdmin is a free software tool written in PHP, intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. phpMyAdmin supports a wide range of operations on MySQL and MariaDB. Frequently used operations (managing databases, tables, columns, columns, relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc) can be performed via the user interface, while you still can directly execute any SQL statement.

Therefore, with PHPMyAdmin we can quickly query our data and other options quickly and easily. In addition to this, we are talking about an open-source project with which we can examine its source code and even modify it.

Another advantage of using PHPMyAdmin is that as it is a project created with PHP, the only thing we need is an operating system with a web server installed. From there, we can then access it with a web device such as a computer, tablet, or mobile phone.

So, let’s get started.

Install PHPMyAdmin on Debian 11

By default, it is included in the official Debian 11 repositories. So installing it is very easy to do. The problem is that the versions included in the repositories are not always the most up-to-date.

So in this post, we’ll go through the whole process to get the latest stable version published on the PHPMyAdmin website.

Install LAMP on Debian 11

Since this is a web application, then it is necessary to have our computer working as a web server. So, we need to install LAMP on Debian 11

For that, you have to install first Apache on Debian 11 and then MariaDB on Debian 11. With our posts, you will have no problem doing that.

Also, it is necessary to install some PHP modules such as

php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-mysql php-mbstring php-xml php-zip

Once we have LAMP fully installed, we can continue.

Downloading and installing the latest version of PHPMyAdmin

At the time of writing this post, the latest stable version of PHPMyAdmin is 5.1.1 in the future this will change. So to keep it working, in the commands replace 5.1.1 with the updated version number.

Now, from the /tmp/ folder download PHPMyAdmin with the command wget.

cd /tmp/
wget https://files.phpmyadmin.net/phpMyAdmin/5.1.1/phpMyAdmin-5.1.1-all-languages.tar.gz

Then unzip it and move it to another location. In this case, I will move it to /usr/share/phpmyadmin.

sudo mv phpMyAdmin-5.1.1-all-languages /usr/share/phpmyadmin

Now create a tmp folder dedicated to PHPMyAdmin. Then make Apache the owner of it.

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/phpmyadmin

Also, create a folder dedicated to the configuration:

sudo mkdir /etc/phpmyadmin/

Enable the PHPMyAdmin configuration by copying the sample with the configuration name that the program will recognize.

sudo cp /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.sample.inc.php /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

This file needs to be edited to make two modifications.

sudo nano /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

The first is to define a passphrase that will help us to increase security.

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '[passphrase]'; 

The second is to set the path to the temporary folder we created for PHPMyAdmin. You can add this line.

$cfg['TempDir'] = '/var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp';

Save your changes and close the editor.

Now you need to add a recommended Apache configuration for ideal access to PHPMyAdmin.

So, Create the file

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf

And add the following:

Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin
ServerName your-domain

<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin>
    Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    DirectoryIndex index.php

    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        <IfModule mod_mime.c>
            AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        </IfModule>
        <FilesMatch ".+\.php$">
            SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
        </FilesMatch>

        php_value include_path .
        php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp
        php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/:/var/lib/phpmyadmin/:/usr/share/php/php-gettext/:/usr/share/php/php-php-gettext/:/usr/share/javascript/:/usr/share/php/tcpdf/:/usr/share/doc/phpmyadmin/:/usr/share/php/phpseclib/
        php_admin_value mbstring.func_overload 0
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_php.c>
        <IfModule mod_mime.c>
            AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        </IfModule>
        <FilesMatch ".+\.php$">
            SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
        </FilesMatch>

        php_value include_path .
        php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp
        php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/:/var/lib/phpmyadmin/:/usr/share/php/php-gettext/:/usr/share/php/php-php-gettext/:/usr/share/javascript/:/usr/share/php/tcpdf/:/usr/share/doc/phpmyadmin/:/usr/share/php/phpseclib/
        php_admin_value mbstring.func_overload 0
    </IfModule>

</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup>
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
        <IfModule mod_authn_file.c>
            AuthType Basic
            AuthName "phpMyAdmin Setup"
            AuthUserFile /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup
        </IfModule>
        Require valid-user
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

Save the changes and close the editor.

Now enable the rewrite module and check the service status for an error.

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo systemctl restart apache2
sudo systemctl status apache2

Optionally, but recommended, you can secure access to PHPMyAdmin by installing Let’s Encrypt certificates.

So, install Certbot and the Apache plugin.

sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache

And generate the certificates as follows

sudo certbot --apache -d [your-domain]

Then, follow the interactive instructions of the tool. There you will have to define your email address and the installation will be done.

Then, restart Apache.

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Now you can access using your favorite web browser at https://your-server/phpmyadmin/ and you will see the login screen.

So, enjoy it.

Conclusion

PHPMyAdmin is a sophisticated tool that allows us to manage a MariaDB instance without much trouble. It can be useful to save a lot of time in viewing the data and the many options we have to work with.

With this post, you learned how to install the latest stable version without major problems having LAMP as a base.

MariaDB is a well-known archi Database Relationships Management System that is a MySQL fork. This is due to the purchase of Sun Mycrosystem by Oracle. It is perfectly compatible with MySQL and is available in most Linux distributions.

In Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04 LTS the version of MariaDB that is available in the official repositories is 10.3 and 10.1 respectively but recently has seen the release of version 10.5 with some interesting new features.

So, if you want to take advantage of having a recent version of this database manager, then welcome.

Install MariaDB 10.6 on Ubuntu 20.04 / 18.04

Open a terminal and install some necessary packages:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
python3-software-properties
Recommended packages:
unattended-upgrades
The following packages will be upgraded:
python3-software-properties software-properties-common
2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 87 not upgraded.
Need to get 35.8 kB of archives.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Once they’re ready we need to add the special MariaDB repository. This adds a lot of ease and security to the process because we won’t be using third-party repositories.

First, add the GPG key:

sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys 'https://mariadb.org/mariadb_release_signing_key.asc'
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.T8R2f9j18N/gpg.1.sh --fetch-keys https://mariadb.org/mariadb_release_signing_key.asc
gpg: requesting key from 'https://mariadb.org/mariadb_release_signing_key.asc'
gpg: key F1656F24C74CD1D8: public key "MariaDB Signing Key signing-key@mariadb.org" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1

Now add the repository as such for Ubuntu 20.04

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64,arm64,ppc64el] http://nyc2.mirrors.digitalocean.com/mariadb/repo/10.6/ubuntu focal main'

Or Ubuntu 18.04:

sudo add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64,arm64,ppc64el] http://nyc2.mirrors.digitalocean.com/mariadb/repo/10.6/ubuntu bionic main'

Note: you can choose another mirror closer to you on the MariaDB website.
Once the new repository is added to the system repository list, you can refresh APT.

sudo apt update

And finally, install MariaDB 10.6 with the following command:

sudo apt install mariadb-server
Then you can check the installed version:

mysql --version
mysql  Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.6.3-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2

With the installation of MariaDB a root password is not defined, so to define it use the mysql_secure_installation script

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Define the root password and then answer yes to all the questions asked.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n]
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] 
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] 
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n]

Now we are ready. MariaDB 10.6 is installed correctly.

Conclusion

MariaDB 10.6 is a good improvement over previous versions. But it is not always available in the official repositories of other Linux distributions. Today you have learned how to install it in Ubuntu 20.04 / 18.04.

So, share this post and join our Telegram Channel.

DbGate is a modern database management client that works with both SQL drivers such as MariaDB, MySQL; and with NoSQL such as MongoDB.

We are talking about a Free and open-source application that has been released under the MIT license. This makes that you can use it in many projects of diverse nature.

Another aspect to take into account with DbGate is that it is cross-platform. This means that we can use it on Windows, macOS, and of course Linux. Quite useful to improve possible migrations between operating systems. If you come from Windows, you can also use this application.

With DbGate you can easily:

• Connect to multiple databases, directly or through SSH tunnel. Important in terms of security.
• Browse or edit data in your tables or views, filter by column value. This using a data editor.
• Edit SQL queries with auto-complete suggestions or use query designer.
• Export and import from/to CSV, JSON, or Excel.
• Connect to MongoDB, browse or filter JSON document data.

In addition to this, you can further extend the functionality of the program by adding plugins.

Install DbGate on Linux

In the Linux chaos, we have several options depending on the system you are using. In the case of Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives there is a DEB package that can be downloaded from Github or using the terminal.

wget -c https://github.com/dbgate/dbgate/releases/download/v4.2.0/dbgate-latest.deb

And then install it, using APT.

sudo apt install ./dbgate-latest.deb

Then you can run it from the main menu.

There are also other formats like APPImage that you can run from any other Linux distribution or use the binaries.

Conclusion

Having professional tools for database management is a serious matter that requires some preliminary research. At the moment, DbGate has all the basic features to make it a solid alternative to others on the market. Being OpenSource and including Linux support, it generates more exceptions and is an option to take into account.

Enjoy it!

The post How to install MariaDB 10.5 on Debian 10? appeared first on Linux Windows and android Tutorials.

Prerequisites

• A web server such as Apache, Nginx or Microsoft IIS
• Any of the following databases: MySQL – 5.5.3 (MariaDB 5.5.20, Percona 5.5.8) or higher with an InnoDB-compatible primary storage engine. PostgreSQL – 9.1.2 or higher. SQLite – 3.4.2 or higher

However, all these requirements can be met by using a program like XAMPP. See here how to use and configure it.

Downloading Drupal for Windows 10

This software can be downloaded for free from here. Please download the compressed file in .zip format.

Creating the new database.

Now it is necessary to create the new database. Indeed, this is essential to be able to use Drupal. Consequently, it opens the XAMMP control center. Once there, please click on the MySQL Configure button.

Immediately the database manager will be deployed. Please click on New. Then assign the name you want and finally click on Create.

Decompressing the downloaded file.

Back to the previously downloaded file, it’s time to do two steps. First decompress it and assign a simpler name to the folder. In my case Drupal. Then move it to the next location:

C:\xampp\htdocs

Starting the Drupal installation in Windows 10

Once these previous steps are done, it is time to start the installation of Drupal. With this in mind, open the following address in your web browser.

http://localhost/Drupal 

Please note that this address may vary depending on the name of the assigned folder. The installer will be immediately deployed. First set the preferred language.

Then, the wizard offers the installation mode. Standard, minimum or a sample Demo. For the purposes of this tutorial, I selected the Standard installation

The assistant will then verify the requirements for running Drupal. In this case, my server needs opcache. However, this component is not essential to run the installation. Therefore, we can skip it

In the next screen, please enter the parameters of the database. Please remember to enter the name of the database you just created.

Now wait a few moments while the installation of Drupal

Once the installation is complete, it is time to set up the website. Please set the name and email address of the website. It is also necessary to assign a username and password. This user must also be provided with an email address. In addition to the region parameters.

Finally the installation will be finished!

From now on, you just have to start the server and paste the following web address:

http://localhost/drupal 

This way we have seen how to install Drupal in Windows 10. So you can enjoy this powerful and friendly framework. See you soon!

PHPMyAdmin is an open-source application created in PHP that provides the administration of a MySQL or MariaDB database from a comfortable web interface. It is simply installed on the server, we make a few small configurations and that’s it. That’s it. Without consuming many resources you will have a quality application.

So, let’s get started.

Install the latest PHPMyAdmin on CentOS 8

Despite being one of the most popular tools available for the administration of MariaDB / MySQL it is not in the CentOS 8 repositories. However, it is possible to get the latest version thanks to the REMI repository.

So, let’s go for it.

Note: All the commands will be performed as the root user. In case your user has sudo access, you can use it before executing each command.

Open a terminal and add the EPEL repository.

dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm

After it is added, the REMI repository must be added.

dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm

Now the next step is to disable the PHP 7.2 module which is the default in the CentOS 8 installation

dnf module reset php:7.2

And now enable the PHP 7.4 module of the REMI module.

dnf module enable php:remi-7.4

The next steps are to set up LAMP or LEMP on CentOS 8. This is up to you and the server you will be using.

For this example, I will install Apache.

dnf install httpd php-session php-json php-hash php-ctype php-mbstring php-zip php-gd php-curl php-openssl php-xml mariadb-server

And finally, it installs PHPMyAdmin

dnf --enablerepo=remi install phpMyAdmin

For PHPMyAdmin to run with Apache it is necessary to make a small change in the configuration file

nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

And in the section leave it this way:

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin>
    AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Save the changes and close the editor.

To apply the changes in Apache, just restart the service

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Then, open a web browser and go to http://your-server/phpmyadmin and you will see the following screen:

So, enjoy it.

A good practice when working with databases is to create specific users for each one of them. These users are given specific permissions to ensure that they can only do certain things. Of course, keep in mind that many of the database operations are performed by applications and you have to be even more careful.

Also, these users have certain information that should also be displayed in certain cases. Note that you are starting to work and you need to know which users are active and thus delete them or update them with specific permissions.

And this is where many users make mistakes because for database listing there is the SHOW DATABASES; command and for the tables SHOW TABLES; but there is no such thing as SHOW TABLES for users.

So, let us start.

List all users on MySQL / MariaDB

To display the users in MySQL / MariaDB the first thing we have to do is open the terminal or connect to the server.

Then, access the MySQL / MariaDB console:

mysql -u root -p

This command has to be executed as the root user or with sudo. Then you have to enter the password of the root user.

Once you are in the MySQL / MariaDB shell you can start.

The MySQL / MariaDB users are stored in a table called users. Inside it there is all the information about them.

So, to list the users, you can use this command:

SELECT User, Host, Password FROM mysql.user;

This command will generate a screen output similar to this one:

+------------------+--------------+--------------+
| user             | host         | password     |
+------------------+--------------+--------------+
| root             | localhost    | 14@sasA269JHh |
| debian-test-user | localhost    | VmtRe32@Z   |
| angelo           | localhost    |              |
| wordpress            | localhost    |              |
| root             | 22.33.44.14|              |
| guest            | %            |              |
| angelo2          | 11.111.12.122  | 8aFroasXZ2@  |
+------------------+--------------+--------------+
7 rows in set (0.01 sec)

Here we can see some of the information that users have. In this case, I have limited the search to three fields and of course, the password is encrypted. If you want more information, you can select all the fields in that table:

SELECT * FROM mysql.user;

This will provide as much information as possible but can be dangerous because the output per screen can be quite large.

Another alternative is to show only single users. It is possible to create the same user for several databases and on different hosts. Therefore, running the above command may bring duplicates.

So if for some reason you want to know only the list of users without duplicates, just run this command:

SELECT DISTINCT User FROM mysql.user;

An example of the screen output would be the following:

+------------------+
| user             | 
+------------------+
| root             | 
| debian-test-user | 
| angelo           | 
| angelo2          | 
| guest            | 
| wordpress          | 
+------------------+
6 rows in set (0.01 sec)

This is a cleaner and more readable way to know the users in MySQL / MariaDB

Finally, it is possible to obtain the current user’s information with the following command:

SELECT user();

So now you know how to list all MySQL / MariaDB users quickly from the terminal.

Conclusion

Working with MySQL / MariaDB is a pretty serious matter full of situations that require a lot of information. Listing the users is something quite simple but it can be very useful and necessary. Thanks to this post you know how to do it without problems.

Previously we explained that the storage engine is a fundamental component of database managers. With them, we define many ways about how our data is stored. Also, it is good to say that there are many and all are good but each in certain circumstances.

So, if your WordPress site needs a change of storage engine, in this post we will tell you how to do it easily and safely.

Previous steps

In this post, it is assumed that WordPress is already installed and running. If not, there are our posts that will help you install it without problems.

How to install WordPress on Ubuntu 20.04?
How to install WordPress on Debian 10?

To facilitate the whole process, we have chosen to use also PHPMyAdmin as a tool. This will help us with some steps.

How to install PHPMyAdmin on Ubuntu 20.04?
How to install PHPMyAdmin on Debian 10?

With this done, we can start.

Changing MySQL / MariaDB storage engine for a WordPress site

Open your web browser and open PHPMyAdmin. You will see the following screen:

As you can see in the image, I have a database called wordpress which is where the site data is.

The process is quite safe but it is always convenient to make a backup of the database.

So, select the wordpress database and go to the Export tab and make a backup of the whole database by pressing the Go button.

Perhaps the fastest method is to use SQL code. So, click on the SQL tab.

What we have to do is modify each table that makes up the WordPress database. As I am using a recent installation of WordPress you may have many more tables.

So, in my case these are the lines I have to run:

ALTER TABLE wp_commentmeta ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_comments ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_links ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_options ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_postmeta ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_termmeta ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_terms ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_term_relationships ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_term_taxonomy ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_usermeta ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_users ENGINE=InnoDB;

Remember that if you want to change to MyISAM you only have to modify the commands, for example:

ALTER TABLE wp_commentmeta ENGINE=MyISAM;

Then click on the Go button.

Then you will see a screen where you can see that each modification has been done correctly.

And you will continue to enjoy your website without any problems.

So, enjoy it.

Conclusion

Changing the storage engine of all the tables in a WordPress site can be helpful for your site. The process is quite simple, but it is always advisable to do it after backing up our database.

So, share this post and join our Telegram Channel.

Prerequisites

• Apache Web Server
• MySQL database
• PHP

You can install these components independently, as I explain in each of the links. However, a faster and more comfortable option is through Xampp.

Downloading Feng Office Community Edition

This is open-source software. However, it offers a free version and two paid versions called Professional and Enterprise Edition. It is also possible to enjoy a free trial of the software. Nevertheless, today we will use the Community Version. Which is very complete and also free. You can download it from this link. Once you have downloaded the file, please unzip it and paste it into the httdocs folder.

Installing Feng Office.

Creating the database

With the Apache and MySQL servers up and running, it’s time to create the database for Feng Office. For this example, we will use the PhpMyAdmin tool included in Xampp. Also, you can assign any name you want to the database.

Configuring Feng Office on the web server.

What is Localhost?

This is a service offered by applications such as XAMP, MAMP among others, which allows you to simulate all the conditions of a real server. To do this, use the resources of the computer to install packages of PHP and MySQL. Precisely, all these tools in the webserver allow WordPress to work. This local server is ideal for testing plugins and themes, as it offers a development environment almost identical to a real server. Also, it’s a great idea to test WordPress before publishing it on the website.

How to reset the password at the Localhost.

Under real server conditions, WordPress allows you to reset your password using your registered email. Since it is enough to enter the mail so that the system sends a link to be able to recover it. However, in a local server environment, this solution is not possible. Since the mail function is disabled. That is, the system does not send the recovery email. Of course, it is possible to enable this function by editing some lines of code. However, today I propose an alternative solution.

How to recover your password on Localhost using phpMyAdmin.

When you install a local web server, another server called PhpMyAdmin is also installed. In effect, this is used to manage, modify, create, or delete databases. In fact, from this section, the MySQL system is used to create the database for WordPress. Well, the first thing you have to do is check which is the database created for WordPress. With this intention, check the file wp-config.php. There is the name of the database used.

Then, you just need to log in to the phpMyAdmin server. Once there, please click on the WordPress database.

Immediately all the tables in the database will be displayed. Please select wp-users. This is where the information for each user is stored.

Then click on Edit.

From now on the method involves a few simple steps. First, select the value corresponding to the administrator user. That is, the parameter you usually use to log in to the server. Then select the MD5 function as this is used by WordPress to generate the password. Then in the password field, select the new value in plain text. Finally, press the Go button to set the changes.

After this step, you will be able to login to WordPress with your new password. That’s it! Simple but very useful, right? I hope you can manage your local server more efficiently. Well, we finally saw how to reset your WordPress password on Localhost. Bye!
