|
1
|
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/example1.com |
4. Create a Virtual Host Configuration File
Create an Apache virtual host configuration file for example.com:
|

|
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf |
Add the following lines:
|
1
2
3

|
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName example.com ServerAlias www.example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example.com ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined</VirtualHost> |
Create an Apache virtual host configuration file for example1.com:
|
1
|
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/example1.com.conf |
And add the following lines:
|

|
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost ServerName example1.com ServerAlias www.example1.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example1.com ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined</VirtualHost> |
Then, enable the virtual host configuration file with the following commands:
|

sudo a2ensite example1.com.conf |
Restart Apache for the changes to take effect.

Secure PhpMyAdmin Login Interface
1. Change Default PhpMyAdmin Login URL
2. Enable HTTPS on PhpMyAdmin
3. Password Protect on PhpMyAdmin
4. Disable root Login to PhpMyAdmin
# vim /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf
Alias /db "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin"
/opt/lampp/lampp restart
vim /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini -> for database upload limit
vim /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php -> for set root password
vim /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-ssl.conf -> for ssl entry
vim /opt/lampp/etc/original/httpd.conf -> for apache configure
error phpmyadmin
|| (count($analyzed_sql_results[‘select_expr’] == 1)
|| (count($analyzed_sql_results[‘select_expr’]) == 1

How to increase phpMyAdmin upload file size
Step - 1: open php.ini of the appropriate PHP version(s).
For PHP v5.0
sudo vim /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
For PHP v7.2
sudo vim /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini
Step - 2: Now need to increase below parameters in the php.ini file.
memory_limit = 1500M
post_max_size = 1500M
upload_max_filesize = 1500M
Step - 3: Now you need to restart your apache server to effect changes.
sudo service apache2 restart
increase import database size
nano /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini
memorylimit 128M
postmaxsize 12M
uploadmaxfilesize 10M
