WordPress with phpMyAdmin - 404's everywhere?

WordPress shouldn't be interfering with phpMyAdmin, since the plugin loads it in a isolated iframe As one of his specifications for the project he wants ONLY WordPress installed on his server The plugin is, nonetheless, still phpMyAdmin (albeit 'wrapped' in the WordPress UI). In other words you've already installed it ) to avoid the hassle of updating and maintaining other software Software' can be a dangerous term when talking web-apps - that's not to say don't use it at all but for some it can conjure up thoughts of blue screens and runtime errors ;) In other words, just stress that PMA is simply a collection of files on the server - it has no database of it's own, it's effectively stateless, and removal is as simple as RMD /phpmyadmin he wants to be able to make all necessary administrative changes from the WordPress Dashboard Despite the points I've already made, if it is absolutely essential that there is database management access within the dashboard, I'm about to write a quick alternative that uses phpMiniAdmin instead (that's how I stumbled on this question oddly! ), and I'd be happy to share it for you to try out.

The difference between installing (or, as you wished to point out, uploading - since it's just files) phpMyAdmin or installing it as a WordPress plugin is that WordPress automatically checks for updates to plugins. This way it poses less of a security risk if phpMyAdmin were never updated. As for why WordPress is interfering, WordPress uses an extremely simply .

Htaccess rewrite rule. ALL requests go to WordPress's index.php. Whenever the URL contained SQL I was redirected to a 404 page.

I also did not see a plugin for phpMiniAdmin, but I may make one if it uses POST instead of GET – steven_desu Jun 21 at 5:14 "WordPress automatically checks for updates to plugins" - true, but it still hinges on the plugin author to make the updates. Heck, that plugin is PMA 2.10.3, but we're up to 3.4.2 now! "ALL requests go to WordPress" Not quite; only requests that don't match a real file or folder.

If you check the plugin page source, you'll see it's just an iframe that points directly to the PMA install. – TheDeadMedic Jun 21 at 9:09 That doesn't explain, then, why modifying WordPress's index. Php allows me to make changes to the contents of the iframe.

I put in a line such as if($_SERVER'REQUEST_URI' == '...'){ die("Yup....."); } with the REQUEST_URI used by PMA for a simple task like dropping a table. Sure enough, when I try to drop a table I get a blank page that says Yup...... This implies that somewhere and somehow any requests containing SQL are going to WordPress and not the plugin. – steven_desu Jun 21 at 15:06 Hmm.

Every request within PMA should point to a physical file (it has no rewrites of it's own), so WordPress should never get involved. Could you post the contents of your . Htaccess?

And when you hit a 404, I'm guessing the URI's a bit like /wp-content/plugins/wp-phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/FILE. Php? QUERY_STRING - what is FILE.

Php? – TheDeadMedic Jun 21 at 15:29 1 Adminer worked perfectly =) So no need to use phpMyAdmin anymore. Thank you very much – steven_desu 2.108 at 2:01.

As @molnarm pointed out in the comments, why not just removed phpMyAdmin and connect to MySQL over SSH, using something like MySQL Workbench or Sequel Pro. You would have a much easier and faster way to interact with MySQL and could delete the nightmare that is phpMyAdmin.

Since the bounty is ending soon I suppose you're automatically going to be rewarded the +100, however I need phpMyAdmin operating as a WordPress plugin inside of the WordPress dashboard for the sake of my client. As one of his specifications for the project he wants ONLY WordPress installed on his server to avoid the hassle of updating and maintaining other software, and he wants to be able to make all necessary administrative changes from the WordPress Dashboard. – steven_desu Jun 20 at 14:54.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
