Please disregard my previous post. It seems that you must not allow the phpmyadmin to use its own internal setup system in the setup folder.

I believe that it didn’t work as the cookie secret was not in that file it created.

Perhaps it would work if I had everything correct.

I went back into your tutorial… followed it to a T and blamo – working phpmyadmin on azure!! hooray!

I am also unable to get this to work. It states teh same error the person above has…#2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server Error

the settings are correct.

Is it a must that you create a dedicated site for this? and upload into the root of that site? I didn’t do that. i had a site… created a folder and used that as the phpmyadmin directory.

also… you have not stated what version that you were using of phpmyadmin, as the settings file in the latest version is different a bit.

please advise.

Great post and easy even for a beginner to follow. Everything worked as described. Thanks!
Now comes the issue of trying to import the mysql DB when it’s bigger than 2.048MB. I’ve tried creating and inserting the .htaccess file as described in many posts but it didn’t seem to work. And there’s no way to access the php.ini file that I’m aware of. It’s frustrating because the DB is only 6MB and I’m looking at having to rebuild my wordpress site by hand. Has anyone else had luck beating the 2MB limit?

Hi I also get the #2002 error when trying to login. The hostname, how much of the connection string shall be used?

Please do revert, as I need a fix for this.

Thanks in advance

Fantastic article, thanks. @Hashid – It sounds like you haven’t set the host correctly in the config.inc.php file.

Fred, in my tests, as long as the database server was the same, I was able to connect to different databases by using a single PhpMyAdmin site. When I used the username/password for a particular database, only that database was available in the phpMyAdmin.

So do you need a PhpMyAdmin “web site” for every database? Or can you link all databases to PhpMyAdmin?

Hi,

This is a good article, my only thought is that there is no word on security. If you use PhpMyAdmin it is a good idea to use SSL while on the site, so your database credentials are never sent in the clear.

Tom.
