Managing Your Database with phpMyAdmin
You may access phpMyAdmin on any Gen2 platform directly from the MODX Cloud Dashboard. There is nothing to install, and you don’t even have to login—just click the button and see your database.
-
From the Clouds page of the MODX Cloud Dashboard, locate the Cloud you’d like to use phpMyAdmin to work with the database for, and click on its name from the list to manage it.
-
On the Cloud Edit Page, locate the MySQL section on the summary page.
-
Click the Open phpMyAdmin button to the right of the "MySQL" header.
phpMyAdmin for Legacy Platforms
PHP for legacy platforms is installed into individual Cloud instances. We recommend removing phpMyAdmin once you are done as hackers often target it.
-
From the Clouds page of the MODX Cloud Dashboard, locate the Cloud you’d like to use phpMyAdmin with and click on its name from the Clouds list/grid.
-
On the default Summary tab of the Cloud Edit Page, under the MySQL section, toggle the option next to “Temporarily add database client phpMyAdmin to your Cloud“.
-
A pop-up will appear and display an automatically generated folder into which phpMyAdmin will be installed. Whether you use the generated location or a custom name, this directory will be relative to the site root. Eg.
http://mydomain.com/pma-347ty37t.
-
Click the button Install phpMyAdmin and the process will begin. After a few moments, a notification will arrive via email and in the Dashboard's Notifications area.

To access phpMyAdmin, you can click the Open phpMyAdmin button at the top right of the MySQL section of the Cloud Edit page.
