On my verio VPS hosting account I had problems getting logged into PHPmyadmin… unlike other web hosts there was no mention of PHPmyadmin in the control panel. After a quick conversation with technical support they told me I needed to install it before I could use it. We did that by logging into shell  ( I use WinSCP for shell ssh ) and typing “install PHPmyadmin” and then visiting https://my username.securesites.net/phpmyadmin/ . The next step was to create a new database and import my sql database file that I exported from the temp wordpress site I setup to test and develop the site. The image below shows my db tables after the import. I the just changed the wp-config file to connect to the new db.

Was this helpful to anyone?
