To give you guys some background on what I am trying to do.

I have some upgrade projects in mind for the blog in 2016, and I want to create a development environment to test and validate the changes and the procedures to perform the upgrade before moving them to my production server.

Last night I extracted the live database, and begun installing MariaDB and phpMyAdmin.

This was a pretty straight forward process when done on the production server 6 months ago, but for the life of my I could not get Apache to allow me access to the /phpMyAdmin directory. Even copying over the same .conf files from the production server.

I finally figured out that when installing the package from the EPEL repository, using YUM. that it created the directory as /usr/share/phpmyadmin. However when done previously on the production server (6 months prior), the directory was named /usr/share/phpMyAdmin.

So the .conf scripts were useless until renaming the directory.

sudo mv phpmyadmin phpMyAdmin

sudo systemctl restart httpd

This is really frustrating, and really puts me off of CentOS. Hasn't anyone heard of consistency?

So I figured out what I was doing wrong.

It turns out there is an old version (V2) that is still in the REPO with the different case.

So if you type $yum install phpmyadmin ( it will install v2.11.11.3-2

If you type $yum install phpMyAdmin you will get the current release.
