Does anyone know how to install phpmyadmin? I require it to backup my databases when I make changes to my shopping cart. Appreciate any help.
yes... those were my exact search terms before i came here. its just a bit confusing ;s.. like am i suppose to upload it onto my ftp server or do i just extract to my computer or what D; seems every tutorial is different or possibly lacking some details.
"Unpack the downloaded file to webserver Document root. For example, if your webserver is Apache, you'd unpack file the file like so: phpMyAdmin-x.y.z.zip under C:\apache\htdocs\"
I tried extracting the myphpadmin to a folder in my desktop and then opening up my FTP. then uploading that folder into my root directory "/"
or you could just logon to your server through ssh(with putty if on windows). then simply type mysqldump -u<username> -p --all-databases > dumpfilename.sql
Yo, alucard would you be willing to Skype or video gchat? I think walking you through in realtime would probably be more helpful in this case.
It's not exactly difficult. Extract the phpmyadmin zip to a directory on your web server under your document root (e.g. Apache's htdocs directory). Navigate to that directory in your browser (e.g. http://localhost/phpmyadmin) and login with your MySQL username and password.
