Install PhpRedmin (Redis Control Panel) on Ubuntu & Debian

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 Ubuntu 16
How to install LAMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack on Debian 8

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

Let’s get to work.
We are going to start with updating repositories list and then install Requirments.

apt-get update

apt-get install git gcc make tcl php-­pear php7.0­dev

Now we can get Phpredmin from Github:

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

cd phpredis/

phpize

./configure

make && make install

echo 'extension=redis.so' > /etc/php/7.0/mods­-available/redis.ini

phpenmod redis

Now we have to restart our Apache:

systemctl restart apache2

Then we have to install Phpredmin:

cd /var/www

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

mkdir -­p ./phpredis/logs/apache2handler/

chown www­-data ./phpredmin/ ­-R

Create the Apache config file:

nano /etc/apache2/conf­-available/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.

To enable that config file you just created:

a2enconf phpredmin

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

systemctl restart apache2

go to the following path and open your “.htaccess” with a text editor:

nano /var/www/phpredmin/public/.htaccess

Comment the following line like below:

#php_value short_open_tag 1

Now you can login to your Phpredmin panel with:

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.
