Can someone please tell me how I can access phpMyAdmin on a box where I  
have  
installed instant rails 1.1x ? Directory structure is:

\Instant Rails  
\Instant Rails\apache  
\Instant Rails\apache\www (this is the web root)  
\Instant Rails\phpMyAdmin

How can I thus access phpMyAdmin with a browswer? If I point it at the  
filed  
index.php in phpMyadmin, and try to open it as a local file, it of  
course  
want parse the php because that needs to be executed through apache.

So how do you access phpMyAdmin in InstantRails? Thanks, Ike

1. I vaguely remember there was somekind of control panel in  
instantrails, and it was possible to start phpmyadmin from there.

2. find the apache configuration (httpd.conf) and see at what url is  
it mounted. start apache (from the control panel?) and browse to that  
url, using localhost as the host part. (i.e.  
[http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/](http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/))

In the Instant Rails menus, select “Configure\>Database”. That will bring  
up  
phpMyAdmin.
