Server phpMyAdmin

Server phpMyAdmin opens the installed MariaDB administration interface through a short-lived SHM sign-in handoff, so root can investigate the server database service without publishing permanent credentials in the panel URL.

Where to find it: Open the Server menu and choose Server phpMyAdmin. Conditional items appear only when their service is installed and available.

Available to: Root only.

What this page does

Use it for provider-level MariaDB administration that is broader than one account's databases. Account users should use the phpMyAdmin action inside their own MySQL Databases page, where scope and credentials remain account-specific.

Before you start

The menu item appears only when MariaDB and phpMyAdmin are installed and available. Root database changes can affect every hosted application, so prefer the account database pages for routine customer work and take a verified backup before schema or data changes.

Sign-in handoff

Opening the item asks SHM to prepare a short-lived sign-on and then redirects the browser to phpMyAdmin. The handoff is not a reusable API key and should not be copied into documentation, tickets, or another browser.

Appropriate use

  • Inspect server-level MariaDB state or a problem that genuinely crosses account boundaries.
  • Use the account database workspace for creating customer databases, users, and grants.
  • Use MySQL Processes for process-level investigation before terminating work.
  • Close the administration tab when finished, especially on a shared support workstation.

How to use it

  1. Confirm MariaDB and phpMyAdmin are healthy in Services and Status.
  2. Open Server > phpMyAdmin.
  3. Verify that the browser reached the expected SHM-hosted database interface.
  4. Perform the smallest required read or change.
  5. Test the affected application and close the session.

Result and next check

The browser receives temporary access to phpMyAdmin for the current root workflow. Any database change must be verified independently through MariaDB and the affected application.
