phpMyAdmin Questions

[wrave]

Hello everyone!

I'm having problems with phpMyAdmin.

I have a small webapp that I'd like to install on my newly hosted glowhost site and when I go to cPanel and click on phpMyAdmin I get a page that says something like "You will be redirected..." but nothing ever happens after that. phpMyAdmin does not load.

Is there some sort of setup I need to do? I've tried to create a db before clicking on the phpMyAdmin icon in cPanel and I've tried with no dbs inititlized.

I'm on olga and it seem like I read something about there being difficulties on this server with databases.

Anyone got any suggestions before I enter a ticket?

TIA

Hello,
I don't see any problems on the server at the moment, please, make sure that you've created and added db user to your db. If you have done it but still face the problem, please, open the ticket for tech support with your cpanel login details.

Also make sure to only use PHPMyadmin for manipulating your DB. USe cPanel > MySQL to create your db, to create your DB user, your DB user password, privs, then add the user to your database.

PHPMyadmin should be avoided for creation of new DBs.

Thanks Matt & Alex. I'll try again. I may not have created the user correctly.

I have done as suggested. Created a db and user, gave my user the privileges required and added the user to the db. Then I go back to the cPanel page and click on the phpMyAdmin link and I get a page that says "Please be patient, you will be redirected in a moment....". That page loads and my browser (IE) shows "done" for the page download. No further data appears to be coming across the connection.

So far, I have been waiting about ten minutes and no redirection.

Alex, I just reread your posting. Are you saying the user must be named "db user"?

I guess I am going to open a ticket.

You can change security level in your browser to Medium-high to get phpMyAdmin working in your Internet Explorer. Also make sure that ActiveX controls and plugins are enabled.

We've got it. I've imported my development db and have accessed it through my site.

Thanks!
