How to get databases in cpanel phpMyAdmin version to show up in localhost version of phpMyAdmin on WAMP server?

Question

I use inmotionhosting for my websites and databases. I have a specific database that I created in mysql and then built the tables via the cpanel version of phpMyAdmin.

I found out that the cpanel version of phpMyAdmin does not have priviliges or user controls so I installed WAMP server and installed phpMyAdmin on it. I can log into it as root user and everything seems to be configured correctly.

How do I make the databases that I created in the cpanel version of phpMyAdmin show up in the phpMyAdmin that I installed on my WAMP server?

I have done countless web and document searches and cannot find an answer for what exactly I need to do to fix this problem. I need assistance. Please and Thank you!

Answer 1

I solved this in the following way. I accessed the config.inc.php file and changed this:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = 'MySQL';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = $wampConf['mysqlPortUsed'];
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';

I changed it to this:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = 'MySQL';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '[my server's static IP address]';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = $wampConf['mysqlPortUsed'];
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';

I was then able to login as any user that was previously made or assigned to this database in MySQL and the appropriate database showed up.
