phpMyAdmin Updater

Script for automatically installing/updating the latest phpMyAdmin version.

This Bash script will do the following.

• Remove any old phpMyAdmin files (in the current folder) if there are any.
• Download the latest version of phpMyAdmin from phpMyAdmin site.
• Extract the downloaded .zip file in the current folder.
• Copy config.sample.inc.php to config.inc.php.
• Automatically update the 'blowfish_secret' in config.inc.php using an md5sum of 512 bytes received from /dev/urandom.
• Clean up by removing the downloaded .zip file

Installing

To use it, simply drop the following commands in your terminal.

git clone https://github.com/martingeorg/pmaupdater.git && (cd pmaupdater && ./pmaupdater)

or

wget https://github.com/martingeorg/pmaupdater/archive/master.zip -O pmaupdater.zip && unzip -j ./pmaupdater.zip pmaupdater-master/* -d pmaupdater && (cd pmaupdater && ./pmaupdater)

Make sure you don't have already a file or folder with the name pmaupdater.zip or pmaupdater as it will be overwritten!

You can rename the pmaupdater folder, to whatever name you want to use when accessing it from your web server.

Updating

Once you have downloaded pmaupdater, you can update the phpMyAdmin version by going to the pmaupdater folder and running the script

./pmaupdater

DO NOT run the script from outside the pmaupdater (or whatever you've renamed it to) folder, otherwise you WILL DELETE files you didn't mean to!!
