Anyone use Reactor Server?

[indigo0086]

Basically I'm taking a Database Management class and my teacher set up a server for us to toy with in the library.  We can get to it through MySQL and someone in the class who works in database management recommended I check out Reactor Server.  I was just wondering is there a way to get to a remote server through the PHP MyAdmin program that is bundled with it?

MyAdmin is installed on the school PHP server? or are you trying to run it from home?

I've never used it before, but if it is installed on a php server and you run it from school you should be able to hit it. But if you are at home it is probably behind there firewall and not accessible from home. Unless he has it set up specifically to allow access from the outside.

well we have passwords to access it.  It's just that I can use mySQL to access it but the PhpMyAdmin has a MySQL gui, I just can't find where I go to connect to a remote server.  I heard about something called Putty which I'm trying to figure out, but too many programs are getting involved.

maybe you can get a lil info from here:

looks like you have to edit config.inc.php file in order to set it up.

so you're looking for a remote access client that will give you server root access?

you want hacking tools, or normal tools?

note: hacking tools require root access to your computer so i can install them and not give out secrets, while normal tools = Putty

Well the teacher gave us the ability to access it through MySQL but I can't find the commands through phpMyAdmin to connect to a remote server and assume host

from what I understood you just put these lines in, or edit the existing ones in config.inc.php

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'address';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'user';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'pass';


Like I say I've never worked with it, and this part "$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']"  may be different in your config file, but just kinda follow the standard in that file and use 'host', 'user' and 'password'. Hopefully it works
