SOLVED Installing phpMyAdmin

[sdgenxr]

I've installed a FEMP stack following the article over at Digital Ocean and have everything working properly. Now I'd like to install phpMyAdmin on the same jail. However, when I follow the directions over at FreeBSD Made Easy, I run into errors on the installation. I'm not sure what's going on here but I've logged into the jail with SU privileges if that helps.

Code:

root@webserver:/usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin # make install

Did you update your jail before you tried to install it? The only time I've seen that error is when my jail wasn't up to date before I tried installing software.

I've run "portsnap fetch update" and get the same result. Is there another form of update I should do?

Try pkg upgrade. "portsnap fetch update" doesn't upgrade any installed software, only the ports tree. For that matter, you could probably do "pkg install phpmyadmin" and manage fine without the ports hassle.

 

[sdgenxr]

Same result.

 

[danb35]

Did you do pkg upgrade?

 

[sdgenxr]

Installing via "pkg install phpmyadmin" seemed to do the trick. Now I just need to figure out how to configure it to work with nginx. Any suggestions?

 

[sdgenxr]

Ok, I've finally installed and have phpMyAdmin up and running. Question for the community, I currently have an nginx and MySQL db running in a jail and have the default homepage set to the phpMyAdmin directory. Considering that I don't intend nor do I believe I have the jail facing out, is this a safe installation?

 

[danb35]

If your jail isn't accessible to the outside world (which would be a function of your router/firewall configuration, not of FreeNAS), then any security vulnerability would be limited to whoever has access to your LAN. How safe that is, is something only you can determine.

 

[sdgenxr]

That's what I was thinking. There are no ports forwarded to that particular jail.

Thanks again to all the amazing help here!

Unless you have a specific need for installing from ports stick to using packages. Also run the following command when you create a new jail and periodically to keep the jails up to date.

Code:

pkg update && pkg upgrade

Good to know!
