howto: change phpmyadmin’s address

if you’re are using phpmyadmin on a publicly accessible server, then you might want to change the way you access it to keep unwanted hackers away.

for this howto, i am using a ubuntu based server with cli only and i assume that you know what you’re doing. if you dont already have phpmyadmin installed, simple enter sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin into your terminal.

the first step is to use nano or your favorite cli text editor and edit /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
