Does aplus.net support the phpmyadmin database administration tool?

Answer by: George Kaloyanov, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

The phpMyAdmin database administration tool is available for the following Unix-based plans: Personal Unix, Business Class Unix, Pro Unix, and eCommerce Unix. The MySQL Database Manager icon in the Control Panel connects you to the phpMyAdmin tool. PhpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. It can create/drop/edit tables, delete/edit/add fields, execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields, manage privileges, and export data into various formats.

You can access the phpMyAdmin tool through the MySQL database manager icon in the Control Panel. Here’s how:

Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
Now, select the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.
Click the MySQL Database Manager icon.
Click the manage database link associated with the exact MySQL Database you’d like to manipulate.

You will be redirected to the administering interface of the phpmyadmin database manager. On the left-hand side you will see the name of the database, and the tables you currently have.

Alternatively, you can access phpMyAdmin directly on your shared hosting server. The URL is of the form: http://<hosting-server>/phpmyadmin. You will have to login into the phpmyadmin tool using your MySQL database username and respective password in order to manage your MySQL database.

Note: Replace <hosting-server> with the IP address or name of your hosting server:

Important: You have to use the hostname or the IP address of the Aplus.Net’s server itself. You can’t access the phpMyAdmin database administration tool by using your own domain name as phpMyAdmin is not installed in your personal web space.
