   2. Download the appropriate version of phpMyAdmin from: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php
2. Extract the phpMyAdmin package:

   Tip
   tar -xzf phpMyAdmin-2.11.9.6-all-languages-utf-8-only.tar.gz

3. Move the phpMyAdmin directory to the web server directory:

   Tip
   mv phpMyAdmin-2.11.9.6-all-languages-utf-8-only /var/www/html/phpmyadmin

4. Follow the installation instructions in: /var/www/html/phpmyadmin/Documentation.txt

   Note
   The instructions must be followed in order to secure phpMyAdmin

   Note
   If you receive 403-Forbidden errors after installing phpMyAdmin, the problem is likely caused by SELinux. Run the following command to correct the problem: chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html/phpmyadmin

5. Configure the phpMyAdmin-VCL Table relationships:
   The phpmyadmin.sql file is provided in the mysql directory in the Apache VCL source code. It will add entries to the pma_table_info table in the phpmyadmin database. These entries cause corresponding information to be displayed when you hover over a value in the VCL database.
   Import the SQL file into the phpmyadmin database:

   Tip
   mysql phpmyadmin < mysql/phpmyadmin.sql
