Apache config: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

PHP

yum install php
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Want to see PHP config?

add: <?php phpinfo(); ?>
go to: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/info.php

Install PHP modules
To see list of modules, do yum search php

yum install php-mysql php-gd php-imap php-ldap php-mbstring php-odbc php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc php-pecl-apc
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

PHPMyAdmin
Method A (download newest version!)
You can install phpadmin by downloading its tar.gz file, extracting and moving to proper folder. Try this tutorial (http://pritisolanki.wordpress.com/2012/01/10/install-phpmyadmin-on-centos-6/).
Method B (from repository using yum)
Install or enable EPEL repository from http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/epel/YOURCENTOSVERSION/epel-release-*****.noarch.rpm (http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/epel/YOURCENTOSVERSION/epel-release-****.noarch.rpm) example:

rpm -ivh http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
yum update
yum install phpMyAdmin
service httpd restart


Edit PHPMyAdmin config file, allow access from internet: (comment out by #)


vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

#<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
# Order Deny,Allow
# Deny from All
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
# Allow from ::1
#</Directory>

#<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/scripts/>
# Order Deny,Allow
# Deny from All
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
