3 Introduction PHPMyAdmin is a web-based application used to manage a MySQL database. It is free and open-source software. We have specially modified PHPMyAdmin to function without errors on a shared hosting platform. Launch The application is launched from Manage Websites Tab, Advanced Tools section.

4 When you launch the application, this page appears: Install 1. Select or create a directory in which to install the phpmyadmin files. As a suggestion you may want to name the folder phpmyadmin. For better security you may wish to use something less obvious like admin4678.

5 2. Select the MySQL user and the associated database. Only a database hosted for this domain can be managed by our version of PHPMyAdmin. 3. Create a new user name and password for the PHPMyAdmin interface. The username cannot be the database user name, as database user names are 16 characters long and PHPMyAdmin allows a maximum of 15 characters. The user should create a unique user name and password for PHPMyAdmin.

6 4. The user will be given a link to click on to open PHPMyAdmin. You will be presented with a generic login screen.

7 Go to PhpMy Admin Once the application is installed you will be able to go and manage by logging into it with the newly created username and password. 1. Click on Go to phpmyadmin. The following screen will display:

8 Once logged in, the user can start managing his/her database. All further support is available online by clicking the (?) icon as highlighted in the upper left. Change Password In order to change the password, click on the Change Password tab. The following screen will be displayed:

9 Un-Installing PHPMyAdmin Simply click the Uninstall icon. Input the database password when asked for it. Uninstalling removes the phpmyadmin installation directory and all files therein, as well as the configuration files in /private/phpmyadmin. As noted below, uninstallation does not affect the database which is being managed. Note: If uninstalling fails, manual uninstall can be performed by deleting the phpmyadmin symlink in public and the phpmyadmin folder in /private.
