Adminer

Adminer is a simple tool for database management. It's possible to manage MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sqlite3, MS SQL and Oracle.

It's a simpler alternative to PhpMyAdmin. You can find more pieces of information about this project at the official page or at Wikipedia.

Installation

Ensure you do not have a manually downloaded copy of Adminer installed!

Install adminer^AUR from the AUR.

Install php-sqlite.

Adminer will be installed as /usr/share/webapps/adminer/index.php.

Don't forget to enable php-sqlite in your /etc/php/php.ini by uncommenting following line:

 extension=mysqli.so

Warning: As of PHP 5.5, mysql.so is deprecated and will fill up your log files with error messages. It is no longer available in PHP 7.0.

Configuration under Apache

Add the following line to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

Include conf/extra/httpd-adminer.conf

Then restart your apache daemon.

# systemctl restart httpd

Note: The Adminer can be accessed by your browser on http://localhost/adminer.

In case there is an (403) error, change the following lines inside the /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-adminer.conf file:

Alias /adminer "/usr/share/webapps/adminer"
<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/adminer">
     AllowOverride All
     Require all granted
     #php_admin_value open_basedir "/srv/:/tmp/:/usr/share/webapps/:/etc/webapps:/usr/share/pear/"
</Directory>

Restart the restart apache daemon again.

# systemctl restart httpd

Configuration under Nginx

Ensure that the php FastCGI interface is configured correct.

Then ad the folwing server block to your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf or place it in a file under /etc/nginx/servers-available/ and enable it.

Afterwards restart the server with systemctl restart nginx.service.

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name db.domainname.dom;
        root /usr/share/webapps/adminer;

        # If you want to use a .htpass file, uncomment the three following lines.
        #auth_basic "Admin-Area! Password needed!";
        #auth_basic_user_file /usr/share/webapps/adminer/.htpass;
        #access_log /var/log/nginx/adminer-access.log;

        error_log /var/log/nginx/adminer-error.log;
        location / {
                index index.php;
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
                }

location ~ .php$ {
        include fastcgi.conf;
        #fastcgi_pass localhost:9000;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/share/webapps/adminer$fastcgi_script_name;
        }
}
