Remote Access to PHPMyAdmin

[herbie497]

IE, not within localhost.

What is the config file to change, I think I remember it to be a fairly small file, I just don't remember the file name or where it is.

Can anyone help?

OK. So on what system do you have phpMyAdmin installed on? What system is the actual database running on?

As i already know your using wAMP you need to change the access to the phpMyAdmin directory from

<Directory DIRECTORY NAME>
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from all
  Allow from localhost
</Directory>

To

<Directory DIRECTORY NAME>
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

You should be able to find this by clicking on the system tray icon and going onto the 'Edit Alias' section on the alias's menu

Hope That Helps

check phpMyAdmin/config.inc
Starting from

* Server(s) configuration

to get in-depth configuration options

But remember!
XAMPP is only meant for local developing!
If u open it to the public u might get hacked within minutes.

To have phpmyadmin work properly from a remote host, you also need to ensure that in the phpmyadmin config file that you use your outside IP address (not 127.0.0.1 or 'localhost') look for this line:
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'URL or IP address here/phpmyadmin/';

the file is config.inc.php
