MySQL Database access
« on November 3rd, 2011, 12:49 AM »
Hi! :)
Simple question: I have a website with a Mambo installation. I have FTP access and I can see the CMS configuration file with database name/password/host etc. The question is: how can I access to the database?
I don't have access to the server, I just have FTP access (and of course database name/password/ecc). Is there a way to know 1) if phpmyadmin is installed 2) if yes, the link for the administration panel ? And if phpmyadmin is not installed how can I access to the database and export the tables? :)

Sorry for the stupid question.. I always "encountered" websites for whom I had phpmyadmin installed and I knew the "link" where I could access it, so this time I don't know what to do.. :P

Ask your host.

Install it yourself. If you have FTP access plus the DB name, password and so on, you can install it yourself. See http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/Documentation.html#setup

I'd rather install a phpmyadmin-like gallery with everything in a single php file. I think we had a discussion about this last month.
