Question
Access Digital Ocean Managed MySQL Database through phpmyadmin
How can I connect to a Managed Digital Ocean Database? I tried started a new droplet using the one-click PHPMyAdmin and altered the /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php with the following
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = FALSE;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
Obviously I filled in the blanks with the information provided in the DB dashboard.
And yes I authorized the droplet to connect in the security settings.

hey mbrantley,
you have to ForeceSSL to do that edit /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
and add this line at the end of the file
also set auth_type to cookie
hopefully, this will solve your issue.

Hello,
There are a couple of things that I could suggest:
mysql_native_passwordand notcaching_sha2_passwordhttps://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-to-install-manually-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu
This will allow you to have the latest PHPMyAdmin version which is compatible with MySQL 8.
Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby
