How to Install phpMyAdmin on Everleap

Everleap > Technical support > Databases > MySQL
  1. Download the .zip file from the phpMyAdmin site.


     
  2. Extract the contents of the .zip file.


     
  3. Edit the file called config.sample.inc.php and change this line from:
     
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
    To
     
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'my##.everleap.com';
    Where ## represents the server number of the MySQL server your database is hosted on.  To find this information, log into the Everleap Control Panel and go to Databases -> Shared/Private MySQL -> Manage link next to database name.  In the same file, add this line:
     
    $cfg['TempDir'] = '../../tmp';
    Right after this one:
     
    $cfg['SaveDir'] = '';
    This is to prevent an error about writing to a cache file.  It’s because if you try to make the temp folder /site/wwwroot/tmp, it won’t save the file because the filepath name is too long.

    Save the file and rename it to config.inc.php.
     
  4. Create a .user.ini file with at least the following settings:
     
    session.save_handler = files
    And place it in your root (i.e. /site/wwwroot) directory.
     
  5. Upload the files to the Everleap server using an FTP client like FileZilla and place it either in the root directory (i.e. /site/wwwroot/phpMyAdmin) or a sub-directory (e.g. /site/wwwroot/sub/phpMyAdmin).  If you place it in a sub-directory, make sure you modify the temp directory above as follows:
     
    $cfg['TempDir'] = '../../../tmp';
    Adding an extra parent path (../) to the string.
     
  6. Make sure PHP is enabled through the Everleap Control Panel by clicking on Sites -> Manage link next to domain name -> Settings.  Select the latest version of PHP in the drop-down menu under PHP and click on the Update General Settings button.


     
  7. Launch phpMyAdmin by entering your primary domain name or secondary URL we provide you in a browser.  For example:

    http://www.mydomainname.com
    http://1019-12345.el-alt.com

    If you uploaded phpMyAdmin to a sub-directory, then append the sub-directory name to the URL:

    http://www.mydomainname.com/sub-directory_name
    http://1019-12345.el-alt.com/sub-directory_name
     
  8. Enter your database login credentials to start using phpMyAdmin,
