You pick the format to download, it’s up to you.

Hope you enjoy this and if you find it in your heart to donate, please do! Took sometime on putting all of this together in a two-day span of time.

Before I get into the instructions, let’s say I’m one pleased puppy on this new release…

This has to be the best Fedora Release yet! Normally I don’t reboot, but after seeing what happened to my last reboot here on my gateway server out of the house, it took literally 10-12 seconds till I was serving the web and my server was back online after rebooting fedora 2x after upgrading to F 11 Leonidas… This is what’s really going to be the winner for any *nix flavor Workstation that loves rebooting fast, read more of this here

Oh and Python 2.6 finally??? Oh well I built it already and had my own RPM laying here, I’m just not looking forward to Python 3.0 quite yet… I wished Python would slow down some! Even though my bud loves the Python 3.0 which he’s a robot builder for a large firm in Japan.

Just like any other upgrade that you do with Yum, this is the most easiest!

Keep up to date on their final release here:  Fedora’s Leonidas Final Release

This is for their Preview Release Core 11

yum -y update

You may need to do some housekeeping to remove some packages to work out a few dependency issues, however mine was swift as I only build gateways and lite boxes separately for one for HTTP, one for MySQL, one for Qmail.

So remember use GOOGLE to research your ERRs, or post them in here, don’t guarantee me to keep checking every hour, someone may come along like billy boy gates or steve balmer from M$ and they may know the answer

All the love to the *nix world keep awkin on!

Install phpMyAdmin on Fedora via Yum:

1. From the command line: # yum -y install phpMyAdmin

2. Setting up access (Security Defaults are a pain!)

# cd /etc/httpd/conf.d/

#vim /phpMyAdmin.conf

Inside this file you will find the following:

# phpMyAdmin – Web based MySQL browser written in php
#
# Allows only localhost by default
#
# But allowing phpMyAdmin to anyone other than localhost should be considered
# dangerous unless properly secured by SSL

Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

# This directory does not require access over HTTP – taken from the original
# phpMyAdmin upstream tarball
#
<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/libraries>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from All
Allow from None
</Directory>

# This configuration prevents mod_security at phpMyAdmin directories from
# filtering SQL etc.  This may break your mod_security implementation.
#
#<IfModule mod_security.c>
#    <Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin>
#        SecRuleInheritance Off
#    </Directory>
#</IfModule>

To gain access too it from another place or IP, which if you are on a network, and there are a series of workstations, you will add in the following ONE LINE if your IP Address is: 192.168.0.90

# phpMyAdmin – Web based MySQL browser written in php
#
# Allows only localhost by default
#
# But allowing phpMyAdmin to anyone other than localhost should be considered
# dangerous unless properly secured by SSL

Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1
allow from 192.168.0.90
</Directory>

# This directory does not require access over HTTP – taken from the original
# phpMyAdmin upstream tarball
#
<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/libraries>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from All
Allow from None
</Directory>

# This configuration prevents mod_security at phpMyAdmin directories from
# filtering SQL etc.  This may break your mod_security implementation.
#
#<IfModule mod_security.c>
#    <Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin>
#        SecRuleInheritance Off
#    </Directory>
#</IfModule>

3. Setting up Normal Authorization to phpMyAdmin:

Edit the following lines to ensure you can login to phpMyAdmin under /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = ‘http’; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = ‘USERNAME’; // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ‘PASSWORD’; // MySQL password (only needed

Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your MySQL username and password respectively.

By default, PHPMyadmin connects to MySQL via localhost with default port and socket. If you wish to modify these settings, change the below similar lines

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = ‘localhost’; // MySQL hostname or IP address
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = ”; // MySQL port – leave blank for default port
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = ”; // Path to the socket – leave blank for default socket

4. View it via any webbrowser by going to http://localhost/phpMyAdmin or via IP or Hostname

See any other settings need changing to fit your requirements? If so feel free on doing so, and make sure you check out their documentation.

WTF phpMyAdmin it up!

If you are looking to have a list of commands to keep handy, figured I would share these here with others that need a starting point with VIM:

1. The cursor is moved using either the arrow keys or the hjkl keys.
h (left)    j (down)       k (up)        l (right)

2. To start Vim from the shell prompt type:  vim FILENAME <ENTER>

3. To exit Vim type:       <ESC>   :q!     <ENTER>  to trash all changes.

OR type:   <ESC>   :wq     <ENTER>  to save the changes.

4. To delete the character at the cursor type:  x

5. To insert or append text type:

i   type inserted text   <ESC>        insert before the cursor
A   type appended text   <ESC>         append after the line

NOTE: Pressing <ESC> will place you in Normal mode or will cancel an unwanted and partially completed command.

Here is VIM’s Part II
