I have installed phpmyadmin in my centos8 droplet, and created an db cluster with same private network, I could connect db cluster through centos8 droplet terminal, however, I couldn’t use phpmyadmin to connect the db cluster.
I am using a “Legacy – MySQL 5.x” user to connect, and I have the following in my config.inc.php:
$i++; $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘host’] = ‘private-db01-xxxxxx.ondigitalocean.com’;
How make this work? What am I missing? Thanks

Hi there,
In your PHPmyAdmin config, you need to also specify the database port as the Managed Databases run on a non-standard port.
Another thing that could be causing the problem is if you’ve installed PHPmyAdmin with apt install phpmyadmin, as this installs a very old version of PHPmyAdmin which is not compatible with the latest MySQL version.
Instead, you could install PHPmyAdmin manually and get the latest version:

Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
