Securing PHPMyAdmin
One time somebody asks me how to secure the phpmyadmin access. Today I will show you how you can do that. It is very simple. Locate your phpmyadmin folder. Inside that folder you will find config.inc.php
In that file you will see this line $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = ‘config’;
Change the ‘config’ to ‘http’
Save the file and access your phpmyadmin from the browser. It will ask you for the username and password.
For those who want to know how to install MySQL I would suggest install MySQL from XAMPP. See my tutorial on Installing XAMPP on Windows
