Remove phpmyadmin from Centos7

Question

I did a general yum install command on my Centos7 server, and got phpmyadmin 4.4 - I want version 4.6

How do I cleanly remove phpmyadmin version 4.4 before installing the new version? I am running php7, and the phpmyadmin 4.4 added many php5.4 files, some of which conflict with my php installation.

Answer 1

There are two ways to delete phpMyadmin

yum remove phpMyAdmin.noarch

remove phpMyAdmin

Or

rpm -qa |grep phpMyAdmin
rpm -e rpm -e phpMyAdmin-4.4.15.10-2.el7.noarch

Remove phpMyAdmin with rpm

Answer 2

Remove phpmyadmin:

yum remove phpmyadmin

Be aware: It will not delete the /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf file but it will change it to phpMyAdmin.conf.rpmsave

Same for /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php.rpmsave

Answer 3

I you are using centos 7 I believe you are using apache web server Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS). I usually provision centos with the epel repositories.

the version that is installed by default (using the terminal is 4.4.15) when you install phpmyadmin using terminal it creates a file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

If you take a closer look to this file it has the php configuration where the phpmyadmin files are located in the server. (/usr/share/phpMyAdmin). Phpmyadmin configuration

this are possible solutions:

1) download the version that you would like to have (phpMyadmin 4.6) and download it to the root of the web folder (var/www/html/phpMyAdmin) restart the server and you will be able to access phpmyadmin directly

2) you can download the php source from phpmyadmin official page to this folder /usr/share/phpMyadmin4.6 2.1) edit the configuration file to point to 4.6 php myadmin /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf. 2.2) restar the server and try http://ip-to-server/phpMyAdmin

Hope it helps
