Troubleshooting phpMyAdmin access

Updated

You can only log into phpMyAdmin after creating a database in DirectAdmin. Once your database is set up, you can access phpMyAdmin in one of two ways:

1. Direct URL:

https://yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin

Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name.

2. Through DirectAdmin:

  • Navigate in the menu to 'Advanced Functions' → 'phpMyAdmin'.

Use the database credentials you created in DirectAdmin to log in. After a successful login, you will see the main phpMyAdmin interface:

  • Left sidebar: Lists all available databases and tables.
  • Main area: Displays the structure and contents of the selected database.

 

Connecting a Script to Your Database

If you want to connect a script (e.g., PHP) to your database, use:

  • Server: localhost
  • Username and password: The credentials you set when creating the database.

This ensures your script can access the database correctly.
