Chris, v8 is not having any further development support apart from standard
updates/urgent security fixes. It goes EOL in March 2017.
We recommend all users to upgrade to v9 which is supported for another 4 years
so I suggest you don't give up on it this easily. You are making a few very
simple errors and I am doing my best to assist you.
You do not have to be a linux geek to do this. But as an administrator of a
server you do need to educate yourself a little, the same as you would with ANY
software.

Quite simply if you are doing anything beyond the standard install you really
have to learn a little. Most of the time it is not hard - we try to make it
that way. Do you expect your server users to do this sort of administration ?

No, to get the error you have you MUST have done something non standard or you
would not get the error about the stephdl repo. So you are not telling me the
whole story.......
There is only one page to follow :
https://wiki.contribs.org/PHPMyAdmin
But as I have intimated, there may be an error in the documentation which we
need to fix.
Can you ATTACH the output of this to the bug please
db yum_repositories show
Then we can see what repos you have installed.

Ok, that is because it is not installed.
yum --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="epel" list available |grep php
That does
Disable all repos temporarily
Enable epel repo
list the available packages from that repo.
greg search for the anything with 'php' in it
Just trying to see if we can see one of the required packages. You should see
the mcrypt package.
I am pretty sure the following line as stated previously will install it all
for you. I believe the documentation for the installation is missing the epel
repo information and needs amending so getting this solved will prove the case
and allow us to update the documentation.
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs,epel install smeserver-phpmyadmin
Enable the smecontribs and epel repos (which allows it to get dependencies)
install the required package
At the end of the day most of this is stock package management for RPM based
systems. It is not out of the ordinary, and as a systems admin you should be
able to to do it.
Please have a go and report back to help us solve the documentation issue. If
you don't help us, we can't help make things better.
