RE: [PHP] Alternative to phpMyAdmin

You probably mean SSH tunnel, which is quite feasable-- Hank Marquardt posted this earlier to the list: --------------- BEGIN QUOTE --------------- Works just fine ... as does postgres -- ssh -N -2 -f -C -c blowfish -L3306:yourdatabase.server.here:3306 you@yourdatabase.server.here or the other usual tricks work too ... like going through a firewall (fyi ... clear text on the *other* side of the firewall): ssh -N -2 -f -C -c blowfish -L3306:db_behind_thefirewall:3306 you@firewall.running.ssh The only oddity is that you will have to use the local host *address* 127.0.0.1 to connect from the mysql client as it normally looks for a local socket if you use 'localhost', so your connection will be: mysql -h 127.0.0.1 for postgres examples, change the port numbers (3306) to 5432 --------------- END QUOTE --------------- -----Original Message----- From: Evan Nemerson [mailto:evan@coeus-group.com] Sent: Saturday, July 14, 2001 6:02 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Alternative to phpMyAdmin What if you were to open an SSL tunnel to the DB host, then connect through that??? > like you said... as long as the database provider accepts connections > from outside, you can administer it from anywhere. > > if the provider doesn't accept incoming connections, no amount of > tools and software will work for you. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Alexander Skwar [mailto:digitalp@host.xnull.com]On Behalf Of > > Subject: RE: [PHP] Alternative to phpMyAdmin > > > > > if you install mysql on a windoze machine then you can administer > > > ANY > > > > > mysql database going through the socket. > > > > Okay, for a development this may be fine, but I still fail to see > > how a tool that runs on your own computer (no matter if it's a > > Windows tool, or a Linux tool) can help you administer databases > > which are not on the same computer (unless the mysql database on the > > providers server can be contacted from any machine and not just from > > "localhost"). > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
