Question

I can\'t get PHPMyAdmin to connect to my Amazon RDS instance. I\'ve granted permissions for my IP address to the DB Security Group which has access to this database I\'m tr

Answer 1

sudo nano /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

--ADD LINES BELOW THE PMA CONFIG AREA AND FILL IN DETAILS--
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']          = '__FILL_IN_DETAILS__';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port']          = '3306';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket']        = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type']  = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension']     = 'mysql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress']      = FALSE;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']     = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = '__FILL_IN_DETAILS__';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = '__FILL_IN_DETAILS__';

Save and Exit. Refresh your phpmyadmin page and you'll see a dropdown with the server that you just added
