Re: How to work with MySQL tables WITHOUT telnet, SSH or PhpMyAdmin

>(I think I need their > assistance if I want to use PhpMyAdmin, right? Most of the time, no. These are the lines you usually need to change on PhpMyAdmin config file: $cfgServers[1]['host'] = 'localhost'; // MySQL hostname $cfgServers[1]['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL user (only needed with basic auth) $cfgServers[1]['password'] = ''; // MySQL password (only needed with basic auth) Pretty standard for a php/mysql script configuration. It is hard to believe it won't work, so I would give a shot.
