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. + Please have a look to the Documentation.txt or + Documentation.html files. - 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. - Bookmarks: - To use the new bookmarks feature, you will have to create a new - db and table on your system, and to type the informations in - config.ini.php3. Table definition: - - CREATE TABLE bookmark ( - id int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment, - dbase varchar(255) NOT NULL, - user varchar(255) NOT NULL, - label varchar(255) NOT NULL, - query text NOT NULL, - PRIMARY KEY (id) - ); - - 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 . - + 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). - |
