So I'm not sure this is int he right place, so please move it and correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm trying to set up my phpMyAdmin to allow me to access a remote server. I had this set up before and working perfectly, but I am on a vbox Ubuntu guest that I screwed up and had to reinstall and now can't get it working.
My config file looks like this:
PHP Code:
<?php
/**
* Server(s) configuration
*/
$i = 0;
// The $cfg['Servers'] array starts with $cfg['Servers'][1]. Do not use $cfg['Servers'][0].
// You can disable a server config entry by setting host to ''.
$i++;
/**
* Read configuration from dbconfig-common
* You can regenerate it using: dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin
*/
if (is_readable('/etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php')) {
require('/etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php');
}
/* Configure according to dbconfig-common if enabled */
if (!empty($dbname)) {
/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
/* Server parameters */
if (empty($dbserver)) $dbserver = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = $dbserver;
if (!empty($dbport)) {
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = $dbport;
}
//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
/* Select mysqli if your server has it */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
/* Optional: User for advanced features */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = $dbuser;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = $dbpass;
/* Optional: Advanced phpMyAdmin features */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = $dbname;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma_bookmark';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = 'pma_relation';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = 'pma_table_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = 'pma_table_coords';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = 'pma_pdf_pages';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] = 'pma_column_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] = 'pma_history';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_coords'] = 'pma_designer_coords';
/* Uncomment the following to enable logging in to passwordless accounts,
* after taking note of the associated security risks. */
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = TRUE;
/* Advance to next server for rest of config */
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '12.34.56.789';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = ''; // MySQL port - leave blank for default port
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = ''; // Path to the socket - leave blank for default socket
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; // How to connect to MySQL server ('tcp' or 'socket')
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql'; // The php MySQL extension to use ('mysql' or 'mysqli')
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = FALSE; // Use compressed protocol for the MySQL connection (requires PHP >= 4.3.0)
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'myusername';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'mypassword';
}
/*
* End of servers configuration
*/
/*
* Directories for saving/loading files from server
*/
$cfg['UploadDir'] = '';
$cfg['SaveDir'] = '';
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'MyHashIsHere';
I don't get the little drop down box on the log-in page like I did last time I set this up, and I see no other way to try to access the remote server. I found something that said I should set
$cfg['ServerDefault'] = 0 but doing so took me to a page resembling a logged session of phpMyAdmin without any databases or options to do anything...
Ideas?
