phpMyAdmin - Installation
Preface:
phpMyAdmin can administer a whole MySQL-server (needs a super-user)
but also a single database. To accomplish the latter you'll need
a properly set up MySQL-user who can read/write only the desired
database. It's up to you to look up the appropiate part in the
MySQL manual.
Quick Install:
[1] Untar the distribution (be sure to untar the subdirectories)
tar xvf phpMyAdmin_x.x.x.tar
[2] Open the file config.inc.php3 in your favourite editor and change
the values for host, user and password to fit your environment.
Have a lok at Documentation.html for an explanation of all values.
[3] It is recommended that you protect the directory in which
you installed phpMyAdmin (unless it's on a closed intranet),
for example with HTTP-AUTH (in a .htaccess-file).
[4] Open the file <www.your-host.com>/<your-install-dir>/index.php3
in your browser. phpMyAdmin should now display a welcome screen
and your databases.
Installation notes:
+ Be sure to protect the phpMyAdmin-directory. By default, it is not
protected in any way! It shouldn't be readable by anyone and
especially not by search-engines. Although I've added a "nofollow"
directive on every page, there may be search-engines that don't
care about that and still follow the links on the page.
Think of AltaVista following a link named "Drop Database"
You can get an overview of Apache's authentification methods at
http://www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth . Another tutorial is at
http://deepthought.texsci.edu/protected_dirs.html
+ PHP3 should be configured to have magic_quotes=on. In the module
version of PHP3 this can also be set on a per-directory base with
php3_magic_quotes_gpc on in an .htaccess file or in your Apache's
access.conf.
+ If you don't use the extension ".php3" for your scripts, you can use
the bundled script "extchg.sh" to modify phpMyAdmin (or any other script)
to work with a different extension. Beware though, that currently changing
the extension from .html to something other won't work (it'd change all
"string".htmlspecialchars() constructs).
