phpMyadmin is a popular
tool for managing
MySQL
databases using a web interface.
Security warning!
Like hundreds of other free software packages on our servers, phpMyAdmin is
available and officially supported, but this should not be taken as an
endorsement.
Many third-party PHP scripts lack in proper maintainership and have poor
track records with respect to security.
We work diligently to keep all preinstalled software packages up-to-date
and we can only guarantee that security fixes will be applied as soon as
they are released.
Installing phpMyAdmin
A maintained, preinstalled version of phpMyAdmin is available our servers.
To install it, use:
$ cd ~/www/mydomain.ext
$ sh /var/www/phpMyAdmin/install.sh phpmyadmin
Once installed, phpMyAdmin should be accessible from
http://mydomain.ext/phpmyadmin.
Logging in
You can log into phpMyAdmin using any of your previously configured
MySQL users. If you have not configured MySQL users/databases, you can
do so from either the "Databases" section of the web interface, or
using the "db mysql" commands in the shell interface.
Don't forget to grant databases privileges to your new MySQL users.
