1 – Hard hack to add Flexible SSL support to phpMyAdmin

This method will edit the original phpMyAdmin installation files. If you update the phpMyAdmin, probably you will need to repeat this method.

01.1 Edit “Config.class.php” file

nano +1302,17 /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/Config.class.php

1.2 Replace “$pma_absolute_uri”  concatenation

(just follow instructions in image below)

2 – Test

That’s it. Just go to your domain and try to enter into phpMyAdmin using https.

Example: https://siteexample.com/phpmyadmin/

Any problem?
