Install PhpRedmin (Redis Control Panel) on CentOS 7

Introduction

Phpredmin is simple control panel for Redis-Server. It’s open-source and easy to use, you can check out Phpredmin on Github.

We are assuming that you have root permission, otherwise, you may start commands with “sudo”.

Installing Phpredmin

First of all, you have to compile “phpredis” module so PHP apps can work with the Redis server.

Requirments

Before start installing Phpredmin make sure that you have a configured web server with PHP 7.0 if you don’t you can visit our LAMP stack tutorials:

How to install LAMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack on CentOS 7

If you are using other web-servers you have to set the same configuration on them but that could be quite different.

We are going to start with updating repositories list and then install Requirments.
Debian and Ubuntu:

yum update

yum install git gcc make tcl php­70w-pear php70w-devel

Now we can get Phpredmin from Github:

git clone -­b php7 https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis.git

cd phpredis/

phpize

./configure

make && make install

You should load the Redis module in your PHP:

echo 'extension=redis.so' > /etc/php.d/redis.ini

Now we have to restart our Apache:

systemctl restart httpd

Test if your Redis module has been loaded successfully:

php -i |grep redis

Your output should be like below:

/etc/php.d/redis.ini,
redis
Registered save handlers => files user redis rediscluster
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify

Then we can install Phpredmin:

cd /var/www

git clone https://github.com/sasanrose/phpredmin.git

mkdir -p ./phpredis/logs/apache2handler/

chown apache:apache ./phpredmin/ -­R

Create the Phpredmin Apache config file:

nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpredmin.conf

Paste the text below into the “phpredmin.conf”:

Alias /phpredmin /var/www/phpredmin/public

<Directory /var/www/phpredmin/>
   AllowOverride All

   <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.4
     <RequireAny>
       Require all granted
     </RequireAny>
   </IfModule>

   <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.2
     Order Deny,Allow
     Allow from all
   </IfModule>
</Directory>

Be sure that you replace your preferred configuration in the above text.

SELINUX Configuration

You can disable SELINUX or you can add a rule for permission.

Disable SELINUX

nano /etc/sysconfig/selinux

find the line that refers to “SELINUX=enforcing” and change it like below:

SELINUX=disabled

A reboot would be necessary:

reboot

Add an SELINUX rule

Simply execute:

setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1

At last, you have to restart your Apache and you are good to go:

systemctl restart httpd

Now you can login to your Phpredmin panel with:install-phpredmin-

http://YOURPUBLICIPADDRESS/phpredmin

This is how your Panel looks like:

Notice: The default credentials are:

admin
admin

It’s highly recommended to change the password after first login.
Here is the tutorial for password changing:
For changing the username and password you should open Phpredmin config file with a text editor, we are going to use nano:

nano /var/www/phpredmin/config.dist.php

You will see something like the picture below:

change your Username and Password then save and exit.
