How to setup phpmyadmin on a Laravel Homestead box

Question

I installed it by running sudo apt-get install phpymyadmin and then running

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /usr/share/nginx/html and sudo service nginx restart

but it's not working.

note: I didn't select any of apache2 or lighttpd options when installing.

You can install phpmyadmin automatically when you vagrant up or provision your homestead by adding the following snippet to your Homestead\scripts\homestead.rb file after # Update Composer On Every Provision

# Install phpMyAdmin on every provision
    config.vm.provision "shell" do |s|
      s.inline = "curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grrnikos/pma/master/pma.sh | sh"
    end

Your hoomestead.rb file should now look somehow like this

class Homestead
  def Homestead.configure(config, settings)
    # Configure The Box
    config.vm.box = "laravel/homestead"
    config.vm.hostname = "homestead"

    # Configure A Private Network IP
    config.vm.network :private_network, ip: settings["ip"] ||= "192.168.10.10"

some other entries are truncated to keep this short

    # Update Composer On Every Provision
    config.vm.provision "shell" do |s|
      s.inline = "/usr/local/bin/composer self-update"
    end

    # Install phpMyAdmin on every provision
    config.vm.provision "shell" do |s|
      s.inline = "curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grrnikos/pma/master/pma.sh | sh"
    end

    # Configure Blackfire.io
    if settings.has_key?("blackfire")
      config.vm.provision "shell" do |s|
        s.path = "./scripts/blackfire.sh"
        s.args = [settings["blackfire"][0]["id"], settings["blackfire"][0]["token"]]
      end
    end
  end
end

Save file and run vagrant destroy then vagrant up or just vagrant reload

NB: This uses Nikos Gr script located here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grrnikos/pma/master/pma.sh

I installed phpMyAdmin from here

then put these settings in config.inc.php:

/* Server parameters */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '33060';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;

and opened via Apache (I had a xampp). In my case i placed phpMyAdmin in D:\xampp\htdocs\pma which allowed me to open at localhost/pma url.

Everything worked!
