IMPORTANT NOTE
The contents of this section apply to you only if your web hosting account includes the
SiteMadeEasy Plusmail control panel. If your account is based on the
Ensim Site Administrator control panel,
click here for that system's documentation.
Add mySQL Database
Your account may include access to the mySQL database server. To add a database to your account,
- Select "Extras" from your control panel's left navigation bar;
- Select "Add MySQL Database" from the top navigation bar;
- Enter the desired database name and password, then click "Setup".
The password you enter must be the same for all databases that you create. The first database you create sets the password for all remaining databases.
Your MySQL USERNAME is your domain name without the extension (e.g., if your domain name is fred.com, your MySQL USERNAME is: fred.) MySQL truncates usernames to 16 characters, so if your domain name is longer than 16 characters, just use the first 16 (e.g., the USERNAME for ihaveanincrediblylongdomainname.com would be: ihaveanincredibl.) You can verify the correct MySQL username in the Password Manager section of the control panel.
Please note that we are unable to provide support for mySQL database programming or usage. Documentation for mySQL is available at http://www.mysql.com. For the correct syntax to access your MySQL database, see the MySQL Database information page.
phpMyAdmin Installation
You can install the popular MySQL database manager, phpMyAdmin, from this section of your control panel, too. Just enter your MySQL password in the box and click the Install phpMyAdmin button.
After installation, phpMyAdmin will be available at http://www.yourdomainname.com/pma/ (replace yourdomainname.com with your actual domain name.) The username and password required to access the application will be the same as your MySQL username and password.
For documentation and other information, please visit the phpMyAdmin web site. Please note that some functionality supported by phpMyAdmin (e.g., load infile) is no longer supported by later versions of PHP, due to security concerns. These functions are still available from the shell command line.
MySQL Password
If you've forgotten or need to change your MySQL password, you can change that from the Password Manager section of your control panel.
