How to add phpMyAdmin to RHEL 7 Server?
Hello,
I hope someone here can help me out because I called Redhat support and all I got were links to docs that don't apply to rhel 7 or are irrelevent. Searching google I issued following command to add epel: rpm -Uvh http://epel.mirror.net.in/epel/beta/7/x86_64/epel-release-7-0.2.noarch.rpm but all I get is Retrieving http://epel.mirror.net.in/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-1.noarch.rpm
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2401:4800:2121:c0:ff:ee:ee:2: Network is unreachable
error: skipping http://epel.mirror.net.in/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-1.noarch.rpm - transfer failed
Can someone help me out and give me exact instructions on getting phpMyadmin installed. Thanks...

Alan,
The epel step you are using looks correct, but it appears to be a network configuration error.
Judging by the error, my guess is that you have ipv6 enabled on your RHEL7 server so it is resolving epel.mirror.net.in to an ipv6 address (AAAA record), but your server then cannot route to the epel server using ipv6.
Is your network setup/configured with ipv6?
If not I would disable ipv6 on your RHEL7 server and attempt the rpm command again and confirm that you are connecting by the ipv4 address (DNS lookup will return ipv4 of 120.88.47.14 in this case).
If you are still having issues I would confirm your network connectivity and http access out to the Internet (eg. do you require proxy access / authentication to access http from the network the RHEL7 server is in?)
EPEL 7 is still listed as beta on the EPEL site, so beta in the URL wasn't/isn't unexpected. It appears the mirror you are using is fairly unreliable, I have just attempted to connect to it now and it is not responding, but other mirrors are working fine, it may just have been timing/luck.
To find the most recent / correct EPEL repo package for your distribution, go directly to the EPEL site:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
Link for the EPEL 7 repo package is here:
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/repoview/epel-release.html
I see you have:
rhel-7-server-rpms/7Server/x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 S 4,844
Where is this configured from? a local ISO? RHN? Satellite server?
Both the dependencies you require are in the RHEL 7 base channel so I would expect them to be picked up correctly by yum:
php-mbstring-5.4.16-23.el7_0.x86_64.rpm
php-bcmath-5.4.16-23.el7_0.x86_64.rpm
Can you run the following:
yum clean all
yum install phpMyAdmin
If it still fails to resolve the dependency, try installing the dependencies manually before installing PhpMyAdmin (this really shouldn't be necessary)
yum install php-mbstring php-bcmath
If you aren't running ipv6 in your network, I would personally turn this off.
As you are able to access the repo and download the repolist etc. I would shift focus from your ipv6/networking as it is currently working, and come back and modify it later to limit the changes/variables in your yum troubleshooting.
Sing me up for this too! I tried to install phpmyadmin on my server with NO luck right now...

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[pontus@GEM ~]$
And when trying to install php-mbstring & php-bcmath I get this:
[pontus@GEM ~]$ sudo yum install php-mbstring php-bcmath

No package php-mbstring available.
No package php-bcmath available.

I also did the yum clean all with no luck...
This is my repolists:

How to solve this?
Just hit this myself. After searching for those packages, found a page (http://linuxconfig.org/installation-of-missing-php-mbstring-on-rhel-7-linux) which helped me figure out that the php-mbstring and php-bcmath packages are included in the rhel-7-server-optional-rpms repository.
So the following resolved the issue for me:
subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
yum install phpmyadmin
I imagine you've probably already worked this out for your installation, but maybe this will at least help someone else out.
For some reason adding the rhel-7-server-optional-rpms repository, did not work for me on a fresh RHEL 7.2. no phpmyadmin (nor php-mcrypt, php-bcmath, php-mbstring) packages in there (using an evaluation subscription).
What did work however is adding the epel repository (Extra Packages for Linux Enterprise, maintained by the Fedora project).
rpm -Uvh http://epel.mirror.net.in/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
yum install phpMyAdmin php-mcrypt php-bcmath php-mbstring
Additionally you can list all packages in the epel repository this way :
yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=epel list
I found the instructions here
This page also explains how to edit the /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf to allow access to phpmyadmin other than at localhost
And finally, phpmyadmin comes configured in a way that won't allow you to log with an empty password. so the fastest way to assign a password for the mariadb root account will be :
mysqladmin -u root password YourPasswordHere
Hope it helps :)
Hey everybody, i have the same problem, i can't install the package "phpmyadmin". The Error-Message is "no package phpmyadmin is available"
Do you have some ideas ?
Thanks
I would suggest reading the comment just above your question ;) By default phpmyadmin is NOT in the rhel-7 packages so try first adding the optional rpms :
subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
yum install phpmyadmin
And if it does nor work try the instructions I had given just above
One of the other will work
