edoplaza Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hello, I have a client who has a Windows server hosting plan. He doesn't really use any ASP on his site or any feature related to this platform. Now he want's me to build a new site for him but I am used to the Linux platform. I don't know if it's possible to install phpMyAdmin on this server, but I know it supports php. Or, maybe I'm confused... maybe you don't NEED phpMyAdmin to be installed on the remote server in order to use it. Is it recommended to use phpMyAdmin with a Windows server? or should I suggest my client to change into a linux platform? His server supports both Linux and Windows. Thank you, Eduardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 phpMyAdmin is JUST a php script that allows management of mysql databases. As long as the server supports php and php has mysql support enabled, phpMyAdmin should work. If his hosting provides a mysql database server, it likely has some existing database management tool installed and you would not necessarily need to install phpMyAdmin.

edoplaza Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks for your answer, No, they don't have any php management, it's awful. They even recommend you to look for specialized software elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
