How to Manage Databases with phpMyAdmin in Webuzo

phpMyAdmin is a friendly, visual way to work with your MySQL databases — browsing tables, editing rows, running queries and making backups, all from your browser. Webuzo includes it, so there is nothing to install.

A gentle reminder before you begin: databases hold your website’s content, so always take a backup before making changes.

Open phpMyAdmin in Webuzo

Log in to your Webuzo Enduser Panel.
Open the Databases section and click phpMyAdmin.
phpMyAdmin opens in a new tab, already signed in and showing your databases on the left.

Everyday tasks

Browse data: click a database, then a table, then the Browse tab to view its rows.
Edit a value: click the pencil icon beside any row, change the value and save.
Run a query: use the SQL tab to run a command — handy for bulk updates.
Repair a table: select a table, then choose Repair table from the actions menu if it becomes corrupted.

A common WordPress rescue

Locked out of WordPress? You can reset the admin password directly in phpMyAdmin. The steps mirror our cPanel guide closely, and the WordPress-specific parts are covered in recovering a hacked WordPress site.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to edit the database directly?

It is, as long as you back up first and change only what you understand. A single wrong edit can break a site, so caution pays off.

Why can I only see my own databases?

For security, the Enduser Panel scopes phpMyAdmin to the databases you own. That is expected and correct.

phpMyAdmin says my table is “in use” or crashed.

Select the table and run Repair table. If it will not recover, restore from your most recent backup.
