On this occasion I would like to share how to configure the **PHPMyAdmin** application so that it can be used to manage **multiple MySQL database servers** (remotely).
|
|
|
|
When writing this article, the author used PHPMyAdmin Version `3.5.2.1` with Apache Web Server running on Linux OS. Meanwhile, the remote MySQL database server uses version `5.x`. Previously, the author assumed that you were able to run PHPMyAdmin on your computer.
|
|
|
|
## Remote MySQL Server
|
|
|
|
On the remote MySQL server, create a new database user that we will use to access the server from our PC or personal computer.
|
|
|
|
First, log in to MySQL and create a new user:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
CREATE USER 'user_name'@'ip_address' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Where**:
|
|
|
|
- `user_name` is the database username that we use to log in to the database server.
|
|
- `ip_address` is the IP address or hostname where PHPMyAdmin is installed.
|
|
- `password` is the password to log in to the database server.
|
|
|
|
After that, grant the required permissions to the user with the **GRANT** command:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user_name'@'ip_address';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Where**:
|
|
|
|
- `ALL PRIVILEGES` means all permissions that the user has, except for the **GRANT** option to other users.
|
|
- `*.*` means all databases and tables. The first asterisk represents the database name, and the second asterisk represents the table in the database.
|
|
- `'user_name'@'ip_address'` is the username that we created previously.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you only want **SELECT** permission, and **UPDATE** permissions for the `tbl_transaction` table in the `db_website` database for user `finance` with IP address `192.169.1.1`, use:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
GRANT SELECT, UPDATE ON db_website.tbl_transaction TO 'finance'@'192.169.1.1';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, finally, don't forget to **FLUSH PRIVILEGES**.
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## PHPMyAdmin Client
|
|
|
|
Find where the PHPMyAdmin application is located. In this tutorial, the location is `/usr/share/webapps/phpmyadmin`. Edit the config.inc.php file in that directory and add the following configuration:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$i++;
|
|
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = 'MRTG IP 169.1/28';
|
|
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '192.168.1.5';
|
|
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '3306';
|
|
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
|
|
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
|
|
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Where :**
|
|
|
|
- `verbose` is the server name that will appear in PHPMyAdmin.
|
|
- `host` is the IP address or domain name of the remote MySQL database server.
|
|
- `port` is the port number of the remote MySQL database server (default `3306`).
|
|
- `connect_type` is the connection type used. There are two options: `socket` and `tcp`. We use `tcp` because the MySQL server is not on the same server as the PHPMyAdmin server that is currently running.
|
|
- `extension` is the PHP MySQL extension used for the above connection.
|
|
- `auth_type` is the authentication mode used for login.
|
|
|
|
After that, try opening the PHPMyAdmin page in a web browser. Then additional options will appear on the login page, as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, simply log in with your username and password according to the server choice.
|
|
|
|
With this feature, you can perform or utilize synchronization from a remote server to a local server or vice versa:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or monitor remote databases from your personal computer, even though PHPMyAdmin is not installed on the remote MySQL server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hope it's useful.
