Make phpMyAdmin work as alias in Nginx + PHP-FPM - php

Question

The system is Fedora 25, with Nginx 1.10.2 and PHP 7.0.14 work in CGI Mode.
I using dnf to install phpMyAdmin, the location is /usr/share/phpMyAdmin, so I try to let it work as alias in multi-website.
location /phpmyadmin {
alias /usr/share/phpMyAdmin;
include fastcgi_php.conf;
}
And I add the location into open_basedir.
fastcgi_param PHP_ADMIN_VALUE "open_basedir=$document_root/:/tmp/:/usr/share/phpMyAdmin/:/var/lib/phpMyAdmin/:/etc/phpMyAdmin/:/usr/share/php:/usr/bin/pear:/dev/null:/var/lib/php";
I open the URL and the log show this message:
2016/12/19 17:52:05 [error] 2241#0: *2 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Unable to open primary script: /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/phpmyadmin/index.php (No such file or directory)" while reading response header from upstream, client: 1.1.1.1, server:1.1.1.1 , request: "GET /phpmyadmin/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:"
How to make it correct and work? Thank you!
Update:
I think maybe cause by fastcgi_param, in order to solve the blank page problem in PHP fastcgi, I add 2 line into this file.
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

It would work but No such file or directory. Nginx can't find the index.php in /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/phpmyadmin/ because the folder doesn't exists.
You have to edit the alias path of phpmyadmin location (see code snippet how I did). After that go to /usr/share/ path and rename the folder phpMyAdmin to phpmyadmin (lowercase) or use the same notation in Location (e.g. Location /phpMyAdmin)
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name test.domain.com;
root /var/www/site1;
index index.html index.php;
# Configure Access and Error Logging
access_log /var/log/site1-access.log combined;
error_log /var/log/site1-error.log warn;
# Configure SSL Certification usage
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/xxx.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/xxx.key;
ssl_dhparam /etc/nginx/ssl/dhparams.pem;
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_session_timeout 10m;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers EECDH+CHACHA20:EECDH+AES128:RSA+AES128:EECDH+AES256:RSA+AES256:EECDH+3DES:RSA+3DES:!MD5;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
