PostgreSQL is a powerful, open-source relational database system. phpPgAdmin is a web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to install both PostgreSQL and phpPgAdmin on Fedora 34.

Step 1: Update Your System

Start by ensuring your system is up to date:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL

Install PostgreSQL using the following command:

sudo dnf install postgresql-server postgresql-contrib -y

Initialize the PostgreSQL database:

sudo postgresql-setup --initdb

Start and enable PostgreSQL:

sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql

Step 3: Configure PostgreSQL

To allow remote access, edit the PostgreSQL configuration file:

sudo nano /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf

Find and change the line:

listen_addresses = 'localhost'

to:

listen_addresses = '*'

Next, modify the pg_hba.conf file to allow remote connections:

sudo nano /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf

Add the following line to allow access for all users:

host    all             all             0.0.0.0/0               md5

Step 4: Install phpPgAdmin

Install phpPgAdmin using the following command:

sudo dnf install phppgadmin -y

Configure your web server to serve phpPgAdmin:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phppgadmin.conf

Update the configuration as needed, ensuring you allow access from your desired IP range.

Step 5: Start and Enable the Web Server

If you're using Apache, start and enable it:

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 6: Access phpPgAdmin

Open your web browser and navigate to:

http://your_server_ip/phppgadmin

You should now see the phpPgAdmin login page.
