Topic: e-smith phpmyadmin

[Lloyd Keen]

Could some advise the correct URL for the mysql web frontend. I know its <www.your-host.com>//index.php3 but what is the install dir? I've browsed through the primary dir but cant find anything.
P.S After installing the RPM do I need to run anything as in a console-save or something.
Many thanks
Lloyd

As far as I know there is no mysql web frontend.

I think what Lloyd is getting as is that there is no information about what to do AFTER you install phpmyadmin. How do you use this RPM? Where would one browse to use this program?
These are all questions I have also.

Thank you,

In the package description for the e-smith-phpmyadmin it says "web-based administration of the MySQL database" I thought that this was a web frontend for mysql similar to the pgaccess frontend for Postgres. If it isnt can anyone recommend a similar sort of program for mysql

That was my understanding also. I have heard that it is the best suck interface, bar none. I too would like to know how to use it. If anybosy can help it would be appreciated.

The url you are looking for is :

http://192.168.1.1/e-smith-manager/phpMyAdmin/

Make sure that php is installed and working first. The phpMyAdmin rpm only
adds the MySQL admin portion.

I have had intermittent problems with this installtion. I think there is a permissions
issue with the location of the install.

I would recommend you download the phpMyAdmin code from a site like
http://www.hotscripts.com

Create an ibay called phpadmin or whatever, extract the php code into the html
folder of that ibay and enable 'Public access via web' to the ibay from the manager.

Use the url http://192.168.1.1/ibayname/ to call the php script.

The other alternative is to use the Webmin MySql module. Webmin is not recommended for e-smith and can break a lot of things on the server if you mess about with the multitude of options it has, but if you stick to the MySql portion only you should not damage anything.
