For those who do not know what is:
phpMyAdmin is a free PHP application that allows you to administer a simplified MySQL database via a browser.
The application is addressed to both database administrators and users. Manages permissions are cut from the MySQL database.
PhpMyAdmin allows you to create a database from scratch, create tables and perform optimization on them. Has a feedback on the creation of tables to avoid any errors. Are there any functionality for entering data (population database) to query, for data backup, etc. ..
The administrator has instead provided a graphical interface for user management: the interface allows the insertion of a new user, changing the password and the management of permissions that the user on the database.

Well let's see how to install it eheh
Fortunately, phpmyadmin is already included in Ubuntu repositories, so long as we open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin After installation you should have available to mask your login info http://localhost/phpmyadmin, if it were not so open a shell and type the command:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadminsudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin
This command creates a symbolic link into the apache that will point to the actual path of the application, it may happen that the installation script fails to do this automatically.
Eheh Well now we go to http / / localhost / phpmyadmin and ... ... ... Have fun:)
