How to install phpmyadmin

Installing Phpmyadmin is easy. I decided to download and install from the phpmyadmin site rather than through debian respositories since this seemed easier to manage. Steps:

1. Install mcrypt module - otherwise phpmyadmin gives errors.

   sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt

2. Download phpmyadmin from http://www.phpmyadmin.net and uncompress in a web-accessbile directory
3. Copy config.sample.inc.php to config,inc,php and fill in something for the blowfish_secret - this should be around line 17

Then browse to phpmyadmin through the web and you should be able to login to mysql.
