phpMyAdmin is an application on your server for working with databases, a bit like Microsoft Access on Windows.

phpMyAdmin is used exclusively for MySQL databases.

Before you can access phpMyAdmin, you must have updated the Apache template for the one in THIS POST.

phpMyAdmin can be accessed via you web browser, at this address www.MyDoamin.com/phpmyadmin/ (Replacing MyDoamin.com with your actual domain name).

Generally speaking, you would use the admin MySQL user that you created in THIS POST to log in.

So, maybe log in and have a look, but be carful not to change anything as all the databases that your server needs to run smoothly will be visible in phpMyAdmin.
