The default bluehost phpmyadmin install only permits uploading sql files. Other installs of phpmyadmin also allow uploading csv and csv using LOADDATA options.

I need to upload CSV data to tables already created on the server.

Tech support suggested I do a manual install of phpmyadmin on my webserver and then just use that to connect (which would give me full phpmyadmin functionality). Problem is, when I run the setup.php script, I can't seem to configure it to connect to the database/server.

Has anyone successfully done this? If so, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the non-helpful reply.. Did you ever get your personal install of phpmyadmin to work? I am trying to get it to work but no matter what I try cant get it log me in. My user and password are set in the config file...but it still says "access denied"..

thought you might have worked through a similar problem..

Thanks

Had no luck doing it. Tech Support told me it's possible to do it and I most likely just wasn't configuring correctly. Gave up because I figured out how to do what I needed to do (upload csv files to the mysql tables) via Bluehost CPANEL phpmyadmin.

Sorry.

I don't know if this will help, but here goes:

1. Go through the "BlueHost" install of phpMyAdmin.
2. Set up a separate (new) folder and do the phpMyAdmin install of your new instance there.
3. Get the necessary config stuff from the BlueHost phpMyAdmin and paste into the #2 install.

The only problem with that suggestion is that since the "BlueHost" install is outside of your account - you can't view the config files to see how it is configured. If it were inside your account you could update that rather than needing a separate install.
