I used this command to install which worked well on PHP5 sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

I wouldn't install PMA like that.

Clone the repo and keep a script to update it regularly.

git clone --depth=1 --branch=STABLE https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin.git

Script to run on CRON

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/sites/phpmyadmin/
git pull -q origin STABLE

CRON

# Automatically upgrade PHPMyAdmin daily (5am)
0 5 * * * /home/user/scripts/pma_update.sh >> /dev/null 2>&1

@bashy Clone it where? Can you please elaborate. I'm not good at server management. The git clone should be entered in the server?

This would be done on the server and you can setup a site for it.

You can create a new vhost in Nginx or just use a default one (on the IP or host) if you have one.

# MySQL
location /mysql {
    index index.php index.html;
    auth_basic "Login";
    auth_basic_user_file /home/sites/htpasswd_mysql;
}

There's no exact way. It depends on your server setup. If you use Forge, you can probably do this all within that system itself.

Well I think this is the time to read the NGINX book I have. I feel useless on these servers. Thanks for the help

@bashy Hey, this is what I did. At first I just cloned it and it didn't work, then I cd /home/forge/default/public and cloned it there and it works now. I will probably change the route to secure it, but is that okay do you think? I mean it works and I can see the tables and everything.

@IsaacBen Yeah make sure you clone it where you want it. Normally either where the default folder is or as a new folder :)
