phpmyadmin

Scrumpers

I am trying to use this gui from any machine other than the one its installed on. I can open the main page but if I hover over any of the links its looking for localhost and I cannot seem to find where to chage it in any config file.

Assuming you have a MS Windows machine.

Look for a file called hosts.sam (a sample hosts file). Open it with notepad.

Let's assume the pc with the s/w on is TCP/IP is 192.168.0.11 and the PC you are on is 192.168.0.12, save the hosts file (without a suffix, ie no .sam) from notepad.

The file should read:

192.168.0.11 localhost

which tells Windows to direct queries for localhost to the pc with the address 192.168.0.11, I think. This will also allow cookies to work properly when generated by locahost (as they are with phpmyadmin).

I have just fixed it i looked in config.inc.php and modified this line to this.

$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://www.website.com/phpmyadmin';

instead of this

$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'localhost/phpmyadmin';
