How to enable Server choosing on PhpMyAdmin?

Question

I'm running XAMPP on my local host, and i want phpmyadmin to add another field of server on login page, so i can manage an external mysql server as well..

Is that possible?

Thanks

Answer 1

在phpMyAdmin配置文件中添加另一个配置块，有问题的文件是config.inc.php，确保在新的配置块之前执行$i++;

Answer 2

It's actually pretty easy. Just add another block of code for the second server.

The configuration starts at: $i++;
The configuration ends before: // If you have more than one server configured...

Just copy and paste that (make sure you include $i++ ), and change the settings to the new server.

Answer 3

You need to adjust the configuration of the mysql server you want to connect to so it allows connecting from the outside.

I suggest you use MySQL Workbench to administrate your mysql server(s).
