In addition to package installation, the One-Click also:
1- Enables the UFW firewall to allow only SSH (port 22
, rate limited), HTTP (port 80
), and HTTPS (port 443
), and MySQL (3306
) access.
2- Sets the MySQL root password and runs mysql_secure_installation
.
3- Sets the phpMyAdmin admin password.
4- Sets up the debian-sys-maint
user in MySQL so the system’s init scripts for MySQL will work without requiring the MySQL root
user password. After you create a MySQL One-Click VM:
4- You can access phpMyAdmin immediately by visiting the VM’s IP address in your browser followed by /phpmyadmin
.
5- You can log into the VM as root
using either the password emailed to you or with an SSH key if you added one during creation.
6- The MySQL root password and phpMyAdmin admin password are in /root/.vm_password
.
7- You can get information about the PHP installation by logging into the VM and running php -i
.In addition, we recommend taking steps to further secure the phpMyAdmin installation, like enabling SSL for the connection from phpMyAdmin to the database server.
8- The default landing page, shown when you visit the VM’s IP address, is located at /var/www/html
.
9- The phpMyAdmin configuration file is located at /etc/phpmyadmin/
. To secure your connection, you will need a registered domain configured for your VM.
