I just setup an Apache 2.2/phpMyAdmin combination. I want to be able to run it on a web server, but connect to multiple different MySQL servers on different machines. However, no matter what I use for the server IP in the phpMyAdmin settings, the connection only goes to localhost. I'm wondering if there could be a setting in Apache somewhere that is automatically directing any web requests only to the localhost, rather than their intended destination.
when u have intalled apace its already run a webserver. if need to connect different mysql server you can use whm/cpanel controls
