Install Adminer on Ubuntu 18.04 bionic

I'm trying to install Adminer from Ubuntu repository using:

sudo apt install adminer

Installation works fine but can't find the file /etc/adminer/apache.conf to use with Apache server. The folder /etc/adminer/ is empty and can't find it anywhere with find command.

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • In the next few steps, I'll show you how I installed adminer for Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS .

    1. After installation with apt package manager change into the adminer directory.

      cd /usr/share/adminer

      There you will find a file called compile.php.

    2. Run the following command and the adminer-X.X.X.php (X.X.X for your version) file will be created.

      sudo php compile.php

    3. Create the apache adminer configuration file.

      sudo echo "Alias /adminer.php /usr/share/adminer/adminer-X.X.X.php" | sudo tee /etc/apache2/conf-available/adminer.conf

    4. Now you'll need to activate the configuration.

      cd /etc/apache2/conf-available/
sudo a2enconf adminer.conf

    5. Reload your apache webserver.

      sudo systemctl reload apache2.

    6. Test in your browser of choice (localhost/adminer.php)
