I’ve installed phpmyadmin following the tutorial. WordPress was already installed. I’m able to access phpmyadmin, and it works fine. Although i’m unable to see the wordpress db there. What am i doing wrong?

Hi @cpinho

Are you connecting with the same user as WordPress or root, when you connect via phpMyAdmin?
Which tutorial have you followed to install phpMyAdmin - link please?
And did you use the One-Click App to setup the droplet with WordPress already installed?

Hi @hansen

Thank you for getting back to me.

I’m using root

I’ve followed this tutorial

I really can recall if i’ve done the one click install for this droplet, as it was months ago.

    Just a question: You installed phpMyAdmin on the same droplet as WordPress is installed on and using the same domain to access it, right?

    Can you run this command on the droplet and post the output:

    egrep "DB_(NAME|HOST)" /var/www/html/wp-config.php

With your first question, i got it!!! eheheh

If i use the wordpress config file db user name and pwd, i was able to enter in phpmyadmin!!!

This was funny.

Sorry for my happiness but i’m not a developer or system guy. Just a n00b!!!!
