Install the php dependencies
apt-get install phpmyadmin php5-fpm
Modify /etc/nginx/sites-available/default and add the following at the end of the server section
location ^~ /phpmyadmin { alias /usr/share/phpmyadmin/; index index.php index.html index.htm; location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params; } }
To restrict access to a certain IP, add the following just below the index line that you have just added…
allow 127.0.0.1; allow 1.2.3.4; deny all;
enable mcrypt extension
php5enmod mcrypt
restart nginx & php5
