Is there any way to give someone access to a single database in phpMyadmin without giving access to the cPanel? Thanks.

You could create a user which can connect from a remote host (I would recommend giveing it a fixed remote host) and give the person this information.

Also you could try to give the person a user/password (see phpmyadmin, or in cpanel the database section) and it should not be active as a cpanel user/password

Thanks Martijn.How do you create a remote host? Thanks.

marlov

Whell if i remember correctly (I don't have any acces to cPanel atm), it is in the submenu called databases, then you can create an user, and add a host to it... (thought hosts were further down on same page)

So far so good, I added the host. How do I create a link to phpmyadmin? Thanks again.

For PHPMyAdmin you could just download an instance and configure it in a way that it connects to the database useing the user's details, user, pass etc.

This wouldn't require him to have access to cpanel.

How do you download an instance? (I'm glad your sig says something about stupid questions.)

I checked the site and couldn't find any reference to downloading an instance. Are you suggesting that I install another copy of phpmyadmin and configure it to only access the one database?
