No phpmyadmin? Lets get that database

Posted by: gerritvisagie on: October 27, 2011

Cant find the phpmyadmin login of a website you need to backup? 

I found myself having this problem with a Joomla website that was about to transfer and a config file with just “Localhost” as the host address.  Plus a support center that closed at 5pm sharp. Dont we all  just love the bureaucratic way?

I was lucky that i had ftp details. if you dont have the ftp username. Wait for the support center to open… but if you do have the user here is a few quick things you can try to solve your problem.

Try pining the domain by opening command prompt.

run cmd.

type in: ping websiteadress.com

you should get somthing like this:



Now that you have the IP address of the server try typing into your url bar:
http://[your.ip.adress]:3306

Some hosts may redirect you to their phpmyadmin page .

Next up try http://88.10.315.138/phpmyadmin/

If your lucky this might also resolve your problem.

But if all else fails its time for some command line.

What you want to do is use the IP address to log into the SSH command line of the server.

Use a free ssh program like putty to connect to the address and utilize your ftp user to gain access to your folder

the following commands can be used:

mysqldump -u databaseusername -p –all-databases >alldatabase.sql

Dumps all your databases in the hosting package


mysqldump -u databaseusername -p db_name >alldatabase.sql

for use with specific databases


For a full list of functions: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqldump.html

Do not forget the last >filename.sql or else you will only be dumping to screen.
