如何在 Digital Ocean 上访问 phpmyadmin

Question

I installed phpmyadmin following: How To Install and Secure phpMyAdmin with Nginx on an Ubuntu 14.04 Server

I ran:

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

I selected No for dbconfig-common since I already have database installed.

sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /usr/share/nginx/html
sudo php5enmod mcrypt
sudo service php5-fpm restart

When I goto http://159.203.85.69/phpmyadmin or http://159.203.85.69/phpmyadmin:8000 I got page not found error.

I website is using PHP and Laravel 5.1.

How can I remotely use phpmyadmin? Thanks.

You can from your own computer access a database that is located on another server.

1. Install MAMP (if you use a Mac) or WAMP (if you are a Windows User)

2. Then : For MAC : go to Applications/MAMP/bin/phpmyadmin and open config.inc.php For Windows go to C:\\wamp\\apps\\phpmyadmin and open config.inc.php

Modify those lines to match with the Host, username and password of your database

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] ="your_server"; // hostname
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '3306'; // Usually always 3306
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']  = 'your_username';     
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'your_password';

Then restart WAMP (or MAMP) and go to localhost/phpmyadmin page on your browser you will connect directly to the database that is hosted on your server.

Make sure also to allow connection to your database from anywhere. To do so look at this post : Allow all remote connections, MySQL

I hope it will help you !
