What is phpPgAdmin?

phpPgAdmin is a web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL. It is perfect for PostgreSQL DBAs, newbies and hosting services.

Set up phpPgAdmin on Alpine Linux

This document will be a very quick c/p guide to setup phpPgAdmin on Alpine linux. What we will setup is the following:

  • Lighttpd with PHP
  • postgresql
  • phpPgAdmin

Install lighttpd, PHP and postgresql

apk add lighttpd postgresql postgresql-client php-pgsql

Configuring Lighttpd

Edit lighttpd.conf

nano +46 /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Uncomment line:

uncoment    include "mod_fastcgi.conf", save and exit

Note: If you are using the Alpine ACF, change the lighttpd port:

nano +81 /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf 
uncomment and change the line to: server.port          = 8080

Starting http service and adding to boot

/etc/init.d/lighttpd start && rc-update add lighttpd default

Configuring postgresql

/etc/init.d/postgresql setup

Starting http service and adding to boot

/etc/init.d/postgresql start && rc-update add postgresql default

Installing phpPgAdmin

Install phpPgAdmin

Download

cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/phppgadmin/phpPgAdmin-4.2.3.tar.gz

Change Config File Name

cp /etc/phppgadmin/conf/config.inc.php-dist /etc/phppgadmin/conf/config.inc.php

Change Folder Persmissions

chmod -R 777 /etc/phppgadmin

Make Symlink to the phpPgAdmin folder

ln -s /etc/phppgadmin/ /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phppgadmin
