3. After setup the server:

1. install apache on the server

sudo apt update

5. Install composer if require on server

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-composer-on-ubuntu-20-04

Start apache2 and phpmyadmin:

1. sudo systemctl enable apache2

2. sudo systemctl start apache2

for restart the apache:

1. sudo systemctl restart apache2

systemctl = system control

Create new file & remove file from the server:

Path of the server file: /var/www/html/
Add new: sudo nano file_name
Remove file: sudo rm -R filename
save file: Ctrl+X <then> Y <then> Enter

Login mysql in terminal (if any password):

mysql --user=root --password
password:

if Not opening phpmyadmin page after installation of phpmyadmin:

sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf
sudo a2enconf phpmyadmin.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2

For adding additional verification on phpmyadmin login page:

#1 create .htacess file
sudo nano /usr/share/phpmyadmin/.htaccess

#2 Within this file, enter the following information
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /etc/phpmyadmin/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

then save and close the file

Here is what each of these lines mean:
AuthType Basic: This line specifies the authentication type that you are implementing. This type will implement password authentication using a password file.
AuthName: This sets the message for the authentication dialog box. You should keep this generic so that unauthorized users won’t gain any information about what is being protected.
AuthUserFile: This sets the location of the password file that will be used for authentication. This should be outside of the directories that are being served. We will create this file shortly.
Require valid-user: This specifies that only authenticated users should be given access to this resource. This is what actually stops unauthorized users from entering.

#3 Set username and password for authentication
The location that you selected for your password file was /etc/phpmyadmin/.htpasswd. You can now create this file and pass it an initial user with the htpasswd utility:

sudo htpasswd -c /etc/phpmyadmin/.htpasswd enter_username
<then>set password
<then>conform password

#4 Restart the apache
sudo systemctl restart apache2
