Add a new port number to Apache
Port 80 is the default number of PHPMyAdmin. On certain occasions, we need to change the port number to another. Here are the steps to accommodate PHPMyAdmin to a new port number.
Open ports.conf file,
sudo mousepad /etc/apache2/ports.conf
Add a new port number (e.g. 8001). Add the following line, save and close the file.
Listen 8001
Open a new Apache virtual host. Open the following file,
sudo mousepad /etc/apache2/sites-available/phpmyadmin.conf
Copy the following piece of code into the file,
<VirtualHost *:8001>
ServerName localhost
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin>
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
DocumentRoot /usr/share/phpmyadmin
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/phpmyadmin.error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/phpmyadmin.access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
ServerName localhost
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin>
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
DocumentRoot /usr/share/phpmyadmin
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/phpmyadmin.error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/phpmyadmin.access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file. Apply the following commands one by one.
sudo a2disconf phpmyadmin
sudo a2ensite phpmyadmin
sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
sudo service apache2 restart
sudo a2ensite phpmyadmin
sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
sudo service apache2 restart
Open PHPMyAdmin in the browser, localhost:8001
