        # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000

	#alias /usr/share/phpMyadmin/;

        location ~ \.php$ {
            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index  index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/$fastcgi_script_name;
            include        fastcgi_params;
        }

        # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
        # concurs with nginx's one
        #
        #location ~ /\.ht {
        #    deny  all;
        #}
    }

    # Load config files from the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory
    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;

}

Restart nginx

Now If all goes wel you should be able to access phpmyadmin on the server ip (if you didn’t mod the conf file)
