<p>You can find more of such options at <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMP_packages">Wikipedia</a>.</p>

<p>phpMyAdmin comes with a <a class="reference external" href="https://hub.docker.com/r/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/">Docker image</a>, which you can easily deploy. You can
download it using:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>docker pull phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin

<p>The phpMyAdmin server will listen on port 80. It supports several ways of
configuring the link to the database server, either by Docker’s link feature
by linking your database container to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">db</span></code> for phpMyAdmin (by specifying
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--link</span> <span class="pre">your_db_host:db</span></code>) or by environment variables (in this case it’s up
to you to set up networking in Docker to allow the phpMyAdmin container to access
the database container over network).</p>

<p>Additionally configuration can be tweaked by <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">/etc/phpmyadmin/config.user.inc.php</span></code>. If
this file exists, it will be loaded after configuration is generated from above
environment variables, so you can override any configuration variable. This
configuration can be added as a volume when invoking docker using
<cite>-v /some/local/directory/config.user.inc.php:/etc/phpmyadmin/config.user.inc.php</cite> parameters.</p>
<p>Note that the supplied configuration file is applied after <a class="reference internal" href="#docker-vars"><span class="std std-ref">Docker environment variables</span></a>,
but you can override any of the values.</p>
<p>For example to change default behaviour of CSV export you can use following
configuration file:</p>

<h3>Running behind haproxy in a subdirectory<a class="headerlink" href="#running-behind-haproxy-in-a-subdirectory" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>When you want to expose phpMyAdmin running in a Docker container in a
subdirectory, you need to rewrite the request path in the server proxying the
requests.</p>
<p>For example using haproxy it can be done as:</p>
<div class="highlight-text"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>frontend http
bind *:80
option forwardfor
option http-server-close
### NETWORK restriction
acl LOCALNET src 10.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/16 172.16.0.0/12

backend phpmyadmin
mode http
reqirep ^(GET|POST|HEAD)\ /phpmyadmin/(.*) \1\ /\2
# phpMyAdmin container IP

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>When using traefik, something like following should work:</p>
<div class="highlight-text"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>defaultEntryPoints = ["http"]
[entryPoints]
[entryPoints.http]

backend = "myadmin"
passHostHeader = true

<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Choose an appropriate distribution kit from the phpmyadmin.net
Downloads page. Some kits contain only the English messages, others
contain all languages. We’ll assume you chose a kit whose name
looks like <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">phpMyAdmin-x.x.x</span> <span class="pre">-all-languages.tar.gz</span></code>.</li>
<li>Ensure you have downloaded a genuine archive, see <a class="reference internal" href="#verify"><span class="std std-ref">Verifying phpMyAdmin releases</span></a>.</li>
<li>Untar or unzip the distribution (be sure to unzip the subdirectories):
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tar</span> <span class="pre">-xzvf</span> <span class="pre">phpMyAdmin_x.x.x-all-languages.tar.gz</span></code> in your
webserver’s document root. If you don’t have direct access to your
document root, put the files in a directory on your local machine,
and, after step 4, transfer the directory on your web server using,
for example, ftp.</li>
<li>Ensure that all the scripts have the appropriate owner (if PHP is
running in safe mode, having some scripts with an owner different from
the owner of other scripts will be a problem). See <a class="reference internal" href="faq.html#faq4-2"><span class="std std-ref">4.2 What’s the preferred way of making phpMyAdmin secure against evil access?</span></a> and

<li>Now you must configure your installation. There are two methods that
can be used. Traditionally, users have hand-edited a copy of
<code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">config.inc.php</span></code>, but now a wizard-style setup script is provided
for those who prefer a graphical installation. Creating a
<code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">config.inc.php</span></code> is still a quick way to get started and needed for
some advanced features.</li>

<div class="section" id="manually-creating-the-file">
<h3>Manually creating the file<a class="headerlink" href="#manually-creating-the-file" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>To manually create the file, simply use your text editor to create the
file <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">config.inc.php</span></code> (you can copy <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">config.sample.inc.php</span></code> to get
a minimal configuration file) in the main (top-level) phpMyAdmin
directory (the one that contains <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">index.php</span></code>). phpMyAdmin first
loads <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">libraries/config.default.php</span></code> and then overrides those values
with anything found in <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">config.inc.php</span></code>. If the default value is
okay for a particular setting, there is no need to include it in
<code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">config.inc.php</span></code>. You’ll probably need only a few directives to get going; a
simple configuration may look like this:</p>

<p>You should verify that the signature matches the archive you have downloaded.
This way you can be sure that you are using the same code that was released.
You should also verify the date of the signature to make sure that you
downloaded the latest version.</p>
<p>Each archive is accompanied with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.asc</span></code> files which contains the PGP signature
for it. Once you have both of them in the same folder, you can verify the signature:</p>
<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">$</span> gpg --verify phpMyAdmin-4.5.4.1-all-languages.zip.asc

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>As you can see gpg complains that it does not know the public key. At this
point you should do one of the following steps:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Download the keyring from <a class="reference external" href="https://files.phpmyadmin.net/phpmyadmin.keyring">our download server</a>, then import it with:</li>

</div>
<p>This will improve the situation a bit - at this point you can verify that the
signature from the given key is correct but you still can not trust the name used
in the key:</p>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The problem here is that anybody could issue the key with this name. You need to
ensure that the key is actually owned by the mentioned person. The GNU Privacy
Handbook covers this topic in the chapter <a class="reference external" href="https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN335">Validating other keys on your public
keyring</a>. The most reliable method is to meet the developer in person and
exchange key fingerprints, however you can also rely on the web of trust. This way
you can trust the key transitively though signatures of others, who have met
the developer in person. For example you can see how <a class="reference external" href="https://pgp.cs.uu.nl/paths/79be3e4300411886/to/ce752f178259bd92.html">Isaac’s key links to

<p>Once the key is trusted, the warning will not occur:</p>

etc.) you need to create a set of special tables. Those tables can be located
in your own database, or in a central database for a multi-user installation
(this database would then be accessed by the controluser, so no other user
should have rights to it).</p>
<div class="section" id="zero-configuration">
<span id="zeroconf"></span><h3>Zero configuration<a class="headerlink" href="#zero-configuration" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>In many cases, this database structure can be automatically created and
configured. This is called “Zero Configuration” mode and can be particularly
useful in shared hosting situations. “Zeroconf” mode is on by default, to
disable set <span class="target" id="index-12"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_ZeroConf"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['ZeroConf']</span></code></a> to false.</p>
<p>The following three scenarios are covered by the Zero Configuration mode:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>When entering a database where the configuration storage tables are not
present, phpMyAdmin offers to create them from the Operations tab.</li>
<li>When entering a database where the tables do already exist, the software
automatically detects this and begins using them. This is the most common
situation; after the tables are initially created automatically they are
continually used without disturbing the user; this is also most useful on
shared hosting where the user is not able to edit <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">config.inc.php</span></code> and
usually the user only has access to one database.</li>
<li>When having access to multiple databases, if the user first enters the
database containing the configuration storage tables then switches to
another database,
phpMyAdmin continues to use the tables from the first database; the user is
not prompted to create more tables in the new database.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="manual-configuration">
<h3>Manual configuration<a class="headerlink" href="#manual-configuration" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Please look at your <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">./sql/</span></code> directory, where you should find a
file called <em>create_tables.sql</em>. (If you are using a Windows server,
pay special attention to <a class="reference internal" href="faq.html#faq1-23"><span class="std std-ref">1.23 I’m running MySQL on a Win32 machine. Each time I create a new table the table and column names are changed to lowercase!</span></a>).</p>
<p>If you already had this infrastructure and:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>upgraded to MySQL 4.1.2 or newer, please use
<code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">sql/upgrade_tables_mysql_4_1_2+.sql</span></code>.</li>
<li>upgraded to phpMyAdmin 4.3.0 or newer from 2.5.0 or newer (<= 4.2.x),
please use <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">sql/upgrade_column_info_4_3_0+.sql</span></code>.</li>
<li>upgraded to phpMyAdmin 4.7.0 or newer from 4.3.0 or newer,
please use <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">sql/upgrade_tables_4_7_0+.sql</span></code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>and then create new tables by importing <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">sql/create_tables.sql</span></code>.</p>
<p>You can use your phpMyAdmin to create the tables for you. Please be
aware that you may need special (administrator) privileges to create
the database and tables, and that the script may need some tuning,
depending on the database name.</p>
<p>After having imported the <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">sql/create_tables.sql</span></code> file, you
should specify the table names in your <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">config.inc.php</span></code> file. The
directives used for that can be found in the <a class="reference internal" href="config.html#config"><span class="std std-ref">Configuration</span></a>.</p>
<p>You will also need to have a controluser
(<span class="target" id="index-13"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_Servers_controluser"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser']</span></code></a> and

with the proper rights to those tables. For example you can create it
using following statement:</p>
<div class="highlight-mysql"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">GRANT</span> <span class="k">SELECT</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">INSERT</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">UPDATE</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="k">DELETE</span> <span class="k">ON</span> <span class="o"><</span><span class="n">pma_db</span><span class="o">></span><span class="p">.</span><span class="o">*</span> <span class="k">TO</span> <span class="s1">'pma'</span><span class="o">@</span><span class="s1">'localhost'</span> <span class="n">IDENTIFIED</span> <span class="k">BY</span> <span class="s1">'pmapass'</span><span class="p">;</span>

<p><strong>Never</strong> extract the new version over an existing installation of
phpMyAdmin, always first remove the old files keeping just the
configuration.</p>
<p class="last">This way you will not leave old no longer working code in the directory,
which can have severe security implications or can cause various breakages.</p>
</div>
<p>Simply copy <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">config.inc.php</span></code> from your previous installation into
the newly unpacked one. Configuration files from old versions may
require some tweaking as some options have been changed or removed.
For compatibility with PHP 5.3 and later, remove a
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);</span></code> statement that you might find near
the end of your configuration file.</p>
<p>You should <strong>not</strong> copy <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">libraries/config.default.php</span></code> over
<code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">config.inc.php</span></code> because the default configuration file is version-
specific.</p>
<p>The complete upgrade can be performed in few simple steps:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Download the latest phpMyAdmin version from <<a class="reference external" href="https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/">https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/</a>>.</li>
<li>Rename existing phpMyAdmin folder (for example to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">phpmyadmin-old</span></code>).</li>
<li>Unpack freshly donwloaded phpMyAdmin to desired location (for example <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">phpmyadmin</span></code>).</li>
<li>Copy <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">config.inc.php`</span></code> from old location (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">phpmyadmin-old</span></code>) to new one (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">phpmyadmin</span></code>).</li>
<li>Test that everything works properly.</li>
<li>Remove backup of previous version (<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">phpmyadmin-old</span></code>).</li>
</ol>
<p>If you have upgraded your MySQL server from a version previous to 4.1.2 to
version 5.x or newer and if you use the phpMyAdmin configuration storage, you
should run the <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-sql"><span class="xref std std-term">SQL</span></a> script found in
<code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">sql/upgrade_tables_mysql_4_1_2+.sql</span></code>.</p>
<p>If you have upgraded your phpMyAdmin to 4.3.0 or newer from 2.5.0 or
newer (<= 4.2.x) and if you use the phpMyAdmin configuration storage, you
should run the <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-sql"><span class="xref std std-term">SQL</span></a> script found in
<code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">sql/upgrade_column_info_4_3_0+.sql</span></code>.</p>

<span id="authentication-modes"></span><span id="index-15"></span><h2>Using authentication modes<a class="headerlink" href="#using-authentication-modes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-http"><span class="xref std std-term">HTTP</span></a> and cookie authentication modes are recommended in a <strong>multi-user
environment</strong> where you want to give users access to their own database and
don’t want them to play around with others. Nevertheless be aware that MS
Internet Explorer seems to be really buggy about cookies, at least till version
6. Even in a <strong>single-user environment</strong>, you might prefer to use <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-http"><span class="xref std std-term">HTTP</span></a>
or cookie mode so that your user/password pair are not in clear in the
configuration file.</p>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-http"><span class="xref std std-term">HTTP</span></a> and cookie authentication
modes are more secure: the MySQL login information does not need to be
set in the phpMyAdmin configuration file (except possibly for the
<span class="target" id="index-16"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_Servers_controluser"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser']</span></code></a>).
However, keep in mind that the password travels in plain text, unless
you are using the HTTPS protocol. In cookie mode, the password is
stored, encrypted with the AES algorithm, in a temporary cookie.</p>
<p>Then each of the <em>true</em> users should be granted a set of privileges
on a set of particular databases. Normally you shouldn’t give global
privileges to an ordinary user, unless you understand the impact of those
privileges (for example, you are creating a superuser).
For example, to grant the user <em>real_user</em> with all privileges on
the database <em>user_base</em>:</p>
<div class="highlight-mysql"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">GRANT</span> <span class="k">ALL</span> <span class="n">PRIVILEGES</span> <span class="k">ON</span> <span class="n">user_base</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="o">*</span> <span class="k">TO</span> <span class="s1">'real_user'</span><span class="o">@</span><span class="n">localhost</span> <span class="n">IDENTIFIED</span> <span class="k">BY</span> <span class="s1">'real_password'</span><span class="p">;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>What the user may now do is controlled entirely by the MySQL user management
system. With HTTP or cookie authentication mode, you don’t need to fill the
user/password fields inside the <span class="target" id="index-17"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_Servers"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['Servers']</span></code></a>.</p>

suggested, perhaps a <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-htaccess"><span class="xref std std-term">.htaccess</span></a> file with the HTTP-AUTH directive or disallowing
incoming HTTP requests at one’s router or firewall will suffice (both
of which are beyond the scope of this manual but easily searchable
with Google).</li>

<p>The phpMyAdmin team tries hard to make the application secure, however there
are always ways to make your installation more secure:</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">Follow our <a class="reference external" href="https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/">Security announcements</a> and upgrade
phpMyAdmin whenever new vulnerability is published.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Serve phpMyAdmin on HTTPS only. Preferably, you should use HSTS as well, so that
you’re protected from protocol downgrade attacks.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Ensure your PHP setup follows recommendations for production sites, for example
<a class="reference external" href="https://secure.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.display-errors">display_errors</a>
should be disabled.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Remove the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">test</span></code> directory from phpMyAdmin, unless you are developing and need test suite.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Remove the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">setup</span></code> directory from phpMyAdmin, you will probably not
use it after the initial setup.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Properly choose an authentication method - <a class="reference internal" href="#cookie"><span class="std std-ref">Cookie authentication mode</span></a>
is probably the best choice for shared hosting.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Deny access to auxiliary files in <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">./libraries/</span></code> or
<code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">./templates/</span></code> subfolders in your webserver configuration.
Such configuration prevents from possible path exposure and cross side
scripting vulnerabilities that might happen to be found in that code. For the
Apache webserver, this is often accomplished with a <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-htaccess"><span class="xref std std-term">.htaccess</span></a> file in
those directories.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Deny access to temporary files, see <span class="target" id="index-37"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_TempDir"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['TempDir']</span></code></a> (if that
is placed inside your web root, see also <a class="reference internal" href="config.html#web-dirs"><span class="std std-ref">Web server upload/save/import directories</span></a>.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">It is generally a good idea to protect a public phpMyAdmin installation
against access by robots as they usually can not do anything good there. You
can do this using <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">robots.txt</span></code> file in root of your webserver or limit
access by web server configuration, see <a class="reference internal" href="faq.html#faq1-42"><span class="std std-ref">1.42 How can I prevent robots from accessing phpMyAdmin?</span></a>.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">In case you don’t want all MySQL users to be able to access
phpMyAdmin, you can use <span class="target" id="index-38"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_Servers_AllowDeny_rules"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['rules']</span></code></a> to limit them
or <span class="target" id="index-39"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_Servers_AllowRoot"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot']</span></code></a> to deny root user access.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Enable <a class="reference internal" href="two_factor.html#fa"><span class="std std-ref">Two-factor authentication</span></a> for your account.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Consider hiding phpMyAdmin behind an authentication proxy, so that
users need to authenticate prior to providing MySQL credentials
to phpMyAdmin. You can achieve this by configuring your web server to request
HTTP authentication. For example in Apache this can be done with:</p>
<div class="highlight-apache"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nb">AuthType</span> Basic
<span class="nb">AuthName</span> <span class="s2">"Restricted Access"</span>
<span class="nb">AuthUserFile</span> <span class="sx">/usr/share/phpmyadmin/passwd</span>
<span class="nb">Require</span> valid-user
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Once you have changed the configuration, you need to create a list of users which
can authenticate. This can be done using the <strong class="program">htpasswd</strong> utility:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>htpasswd -c /usr/share/phpmyadmin/passwd username
</pre></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><p class="first">If you are afraid of automated attacks, enabling Captcha by
<span class="target" id="index-40"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_CaptchaLoginPublicKey"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['CaptchaLoginPublicKey']</span></code></a> and
<span class="target" id="index-41"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_CaptchaLoginPrivateKey"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['CaptchaLoginPrivateKey']</span></code></a> might be an option.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">Failed login attemps are logged to syslog (if available, see
<span class="target" id="index-42"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_AuthLog"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['AuthLog']</span></code></a>). This can allow using a tool such as
fail2ban to block brute-force attempts. Note that the log file used by syslog
is not the same as the Apache error or access log files.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">In case you’re running phpMyAdmin together with other PHP applications, it is
generally advised to use separate session storage for phpMyAdmin to avoid
possible session based attacks against it. You can use
<span class="target" id="index-43"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_SessionSavePath"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['SessionSavePath']</span></code></a> to achieve this.</p>
