Question

I have access to my server\'s phpmyadmin. But how can I find that mysql\'s Ip address from phpmyadmin. My webserver and mysql is using different IPs.

Is there any w

Answer 1

MySQL doesn't care what IP its on. Closest you could get would be hostname:

select * from GLOBAL_variables where variable_name like 'hostname';

Answer 2

You can ssh to your server and run this command

 ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin

It worked for me..

Answer 3

The SQL query SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name = 'hostname' will show you the hostname of the MySQL server which you can easily resolve to its IP address.

SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name = 'port' Will give you the port number.

You can find details about this in MySQL's manual: 12.4.5.41. SHOW VARIABLES Syntax and 5.1.4. Server System Variables

Answer 4

As an alternative, since you know the hostname, resolve the database server IP via hostname from the web server.

Answer 5

select * from SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name = 'hostname';

Answer 6

The server's address is stored in config.php
