Accessing PhpMyAdmin On Linux And Mac OS X

To access the application using your Web browser, create an SSH tunnel, as described

below.

 Open a new terminal window on your local system (for example, using "Finder ->

Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal" in Mac OS X or the Dash in Ubuntu).

 Run the following command, remembering to replace SERVER-ADMIN-NAME with the

admin name you created for the server. Also replace SERVER-DNS-NAME with the

DNS name of your server. (spaces are important and this command prompt is case

sensitive)

 ssh -N -L 8888:127.0.0.1:80 SERVER-ADMIN-NAME@SERVER-DNS-NAME

For instance if your server admin name is Ralph and your server DNS name is

mycoolserver.someoddsubdomain.somedomain you will issue the command:

ssh –N –L 8888:127.0.0.1:80 Ralph@ mycoolserver.somesubdomain.somedomain

 Enter your server admin password when prompted.

NOTE: If successful, the above command will create an SSH tunnel but will not display

any output on the server console. Simply minimize the terminal and continue. Do not

close the terminal or you will break the ssh connection and you will not be able to

access phpMyAdmin.

 Access the phpMyAdmin console through the secure SSH tunnel you created, by

browsing to http://127.0.0.1:8888/phpmyadmin.
