[BlueOnyx:16635] Re: access phpMyAdmin

[Ken Hohhof]

Hey Michael, I've meant to ask a couple questions about the phpMyAdmin 
"WHAM" module in the Blue Onyx store.  I got it for the convenience of 
installing from the GUI, but immediately got a complaint from a site admin 
because it requires PHP 5.5.  So it won't run with the PHP that comes with 
Blue Onyx.  This made me look a little stupid to the hosting customer.

My questions are:

1)  Is the recommended solution to also buy the PHP and MySQL upgrades?  I 
host mostly legacy sites and am not eager to upgrade to PHP 5.5 and see if 
it breaks any of the sites.

2)  What is the recommended way to keep the phpMyAdmin version updated on 
virtual sites?  I thought the way it would work is that one copy would be 
installed on the server with something like symlinks from the vsites, then 
yum updates would automatically propagate to the vsites.  Or that the WHAM 
installer would automatically update all the copies after a yum update.  But 
I'm getting the impression neither of these happens.

Yeah, "once upon a time". ;-)

The thing here is that newer versions of phpMyAdmin started to get
pretty selective in regards to the PHP version. We could no longer run
them on the "stock" PHP of AdmServ.

So we started doing this:

a.) In the GUI we use an older (but sill good) phpMyAdmin that's
modified to automatically log you into phpMyAdmin with suitable
credentials. In the new GUI this is found in the "Programs" tab.

b.) There is a WebApp-Module in the BlueOnyx shop that installs the
latest phpMyAdmin as Web-Application into Vsites of your choosing. That
way Vsites can have their own (modern) phpMyAdmin install that's
reachable outside of the GUI.
