Multi Server setup and phpmyadmin

[djurhuus]

I haven't figured out how to get in contact with my mysql server through phpmyadmin.

My setup

web.my.domain (web/file server - master ISPConfig 3)
db.my.domain (mysql server)
mail.my.domain (mail server)
ns1.my.domain (dns server)
ns2.my.domain (dns server)

I can make databases on db.my.domain via master ISPConfig 3 interface but I can't contact the databases.
If I try in the ISPConfig 3 interface I hit the mysql on master ISPConfig 3 server which dosen't contain my databases - they are on the db.my.domain .
I can't go through db.my.domain/phpmyadmin while it seems like phpmyadmin isn't installed on db.my.domain!(I have used the Multiserver Setup With Dedicated Web, Email, DNS & MySQL Database Servers On Debian Squeeze With ISPConfig 3).
If I try via www.my.domain/phpmyadmin I will just hit the master ISPConfig 3 server again.

Is there something I missing here or have I totally missed how to contact my db.my.domain server using phpmyadmin ???

Well one way is to install phpmyadmin on the db server

The other one would be that you set it up correctly to work with a remote server, in this instance your db server

It was my purpose to use phpmyadmin remotely on the db.my.domain.
I've followed the guide and can figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Have anybody got this to work - please tell me how it suppose to work.

Well thats my config for phpmyadmin

$cfg['DisplayServersList']    = true;
$cfg['ThemeManager'] = false;
?>

But you have to remember that all dbs have to be accessible by the phpmyadmin server with the user (hint: remote_access)

Where is your phpmyadmin config located?

[Horfic]

In the phpmyadmin directory and the file is called config.inc.php when it isn't there just create it
