Some questions asked and answered [aka faq]:
- How do I admin my database?
you can access phpMyAdmin (graphical interface to MySQL admin) by using a web browser to go to your hostname URL (ex: http://mysql.subdomain.serveit.org). You will need to enter your database username and password to access this tool. - How do I connect to my database?
To connect to a database you will normally need to provide the database name, database hostname(ex:mysql.subdomain.serveit.org), database username and database password. Many scripts will have a config file where you plug this all in, or an installation script that will request it via form.
PLEEEEEEEEEEASE don't contact me for support before you look into at the Dreamhost Support options below.
