Accessing your MySQL database

---

You can access your database using either SSH or phpMyAdmin, a web-based database manager.

 

To access your database via SSH, you must first connect to your Web server using your Master User account and then connect to your database from that command prompt (as the MySQL servers will not accept external connections).

The shell command to connect is:

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -h mysql[n].[domainname.com] -u [username] -p [databasename]

 

To use phpMyAdmin, return to the MySQL page in the WebSite section of SiteControl.  At the bottom of the page, click Administer.
