Configuring access to phpMyAdmin on Hestia CP

2 October, 2023

There are situations when a user, after clicking the phpMyAdmin button in the DB section, sees the error Page Not Found. There is nothing to worry about. Most likely, the control panel is being accessed via the IP-server. The specified access path in Hestia is disabled. The developers took care of this for security reasons. The hostname or domain of the server is the main way to access the phpMyAdmin functionality.  

The hostname refers to the web link to the server, which is found in the email with access information. The hostname looks like this — name-example.chost.com.ua, where name-example is the name of the user's server specified during the ordering process. It is enough to add /phpmyadmin to this combination to access phpMyAdmin. 

Another option for accessing phpMyAdmin is to use a domain pointed to the server. Simply append /phpmyadmin to the website address to open the login page. In the DB section of the control panel, when logging in via the hostname, it is enough to click on phpMyAdmin to access the working version. Here, it is sufficient to opt out of using Hestia via IP and choose the hostname as the access method.
