When you go live with a site using PHPMyAdmin, do you change the
authentication method to "html" in the PHPMyAdmin setup?

I am able to connect remotely on my Windows host. I'll just change to http
login in the config file.

(you may be able to get your host to allow you to connect, which just
requires a modification to your host file, as I recall).

Also, I have a single-file install of a PHPAdmin type-interface if you're
interested. It's wonderful for connecting and editing to a database in
development, then you can just delete one file when you're finished using
it.

I don't use phpMyAdmin on any remote sites, but if you have installed it
on a live web server, you should NEVER use "config" as the
authentication method. You can use a local version of phpMyAdmin to
administer remote sites, but most MySQL servers are configured to reject
remote access. I do all maintenance at the command line and connect
using SSH. It's much more secure.
