Manual:PhpMyAdmin/en

phpMyAdmin is useful GUI tool for database administration. It is an alternative to administering the database from the command line. It is particularly useful when dealing with small wikis, as transactions to larger wikis are best done at the command line, due to possible timeout issues. The default configuration makes it available via http://localhost/phpmyadmin/.

Increasing the timeout length
By default, phpMyAdmin times out every 1440 seconds; to change this, go to Settings->Features->General->Login cookie validity.

You may also need to set, in (this should be in the top-level phpmyadmin directory; if not, open config.sample.inc.php and save as config.inc.php):

If you prefer the GUI, use http://localhost/phpmyadmin/setup/
