Installing PHPMyAdmin on the UNNOC Appliance

There are a few minor bugs with the current release of UNNOC where you may want to delete some orphaned rows in the database. For those not proficient with MySQL command line, installing PHPMyAdmin is a great alternative.

To install from a server with www connectivity:

• apt-get install phpmyadmin

The default web location for the UNNOC appliance is /var/www/unnoc. When you browse to http://unnocappliance it pulls the index.php file in /var/www/unnoc. I want to be able to type in http://unnocappliance/phpmyadmin, therefore I created a symbolic link in /var/www/unnoc for the PHP installation location of /usr/share/phpmyadmin.

It’s really not that complicated and for advanced Windows admins you may recall the junction tool from Microsoft.

• ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ ./phpmyadmin

Now browse to http://your_appliance_goes_here/phpmyadmin

Viola! The login page for PHPMyAdmin.

Login with the login details found in /var/www/unnoc/etc/unnoc.conf under db_user and db_pass.

From the drop-down, select the UNNOC database.

You are now connected. Admin at your own peril.
