Installing phpMyAdmin on a Laravel Forge server can be an enormous challenge. One would image you can just specify phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin as the repo and leave the default branch as master, but alas, no such luck.
This article documents a manual way of doing it by cloning the latest phpMyAdmin repository. It’s a three step process:
- Clone
- Move files up
composer install
1. The phpMyAdmin repository is at https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin. To find out what the latest version is, click on the branch dropdown:
Then create a new site in Forge. Then clone using the latest QA branch:
[email protected]:~/phpmyadmin.domain.com/public$ git clone --depth=1 --branch=QA_5_0 git://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin.git
2. This will clone it into the phpmyadmin folder. If you prefer to have it in the index, move all the files one level up.
3. Run composer install
