[Answered] MySql administration

[softlab]

Hi. I have an account on Johnny. I'd like to know if there is a way to admin my MySql database, considering that the admin console is not available.

Thanks

The solution we've been recommending for this is to just upload phpmyadmin into your account via FTP then manage the databases using that. You won't be able to create new ones, but you can edit the content of existing ones.

Thanks for the useful info

Hi wolstech.

I know a long time has passed from your response, but I managed in copying PhpMyAdmin to my sire only now. I copied the 4.4.15.10 version (the last supporting php 5.4), but when I try to launch it I get this error message:

The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.

What's wrong?

Thanks

I just set your PhpMyAdmin to use PHP 7.1 which has mbstring, it works now. You can change the PHP version for a single folder by putting an .htaccess inside with the handler assignment. If you're curious how, check out the .htaccess I created inside your phpMyAdmin folder.

This also means you can use a newer version of PMA if you want. The server has up to PHP 7.4 if I remember right.
