Nginx with phpmyadmin wrong redirect after login

Question

I\'m setting up phpMyAdmin with nginx. I can visit phpMyAdmin at http://localhost/phpmyadmin. However, when I logged in, the URL is redirected to http://localhost/sql.php instea

Answer 1

I also ran into this problem and all the solutions I found looked a lot like workarounds which might break once you update phpmyadmin or nginx. I therefore decided to use a subdomain for phpmyadmin.

My phpmyadmin is now available at https://phpmyadmin.your-domain.com. This might be a bit of an overhead, since you need to add the subdomain and get a certificate for this subdomain but at least it won't break in case there is an update for phpymadmin, nginx, etc.
