1 – Hard hack to add Flexible SSL support to phpMyAdmin
This method will edit the original phpMyAdmin installation files. If you update the phpMyAdmin, probably you will need to repeat this method.
01.1 Edit “Config.class.php” file
nano +1302,17 /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/Config.class.php
1.2 Replace “$pma_absolute_uri” concatenation
(just follow instructions in image below)
2 – Test
That’s it. Just go to your domain and try to enter into phpMyAdmin using https.
Example: https://siteexample.com/phpmyadmin/
Any problem?
