PHPMyAdmin

PHPMyAdmin is included to manage MySQL and MariaDB databases visually.

It allows you to:

  • Create and delete databases
  • Run SQL queries
  • Import/export dumps
  • Manage tables
  • Manage users

Accessing PHPMyAdmin

  1. Make sure your Database Instance is running.
  2. Open PHPMyAdmin from the button next to the Database Server Instance.

Database credentials

You will be asked to login in order to access the database. By default we provide 2 users.

username: root
password: (none)

username: forgekit
password: forgekit

How it works

PhpMyAdmin is bundled with ForgeKit in /tools/phpMyAdmin5 and /tools/phpmyadmin-runtime. The runtime is a standalone and independent version of PHP with modified php.ini so it works with everything you need to do via phpMyAdmin.

It only runs if you need it though. If you never click on the phpMyAdmin button, that php-server never runs.

Security note

PHPMyAdmin runs locally inside your ForgeKit environment.

It is not exposed publicly unless you deliberately expose your local server.
