Add phpMyAdmin to Local

Windows PHPMyAdmin install:

I installed PHPMyAdmin 5.2.0 in C:/localroot/conf/phpmyadmin directory and then symbolically linked it like so:

  1. Run PowerShell as administrator
  2. Run this command:
    New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "C:\localroot\app\public\phpmyadmin" -Target "C:\localroot\conf\phpmyadmin"

Then navigate to https://website.local/phpmyadmin

Alternatively you can just drop the phpmyadmin folder in your /public/ directory and then you don’t need to symbolic link anything.

I prefer the navigation of PHPMyAdmin. Also the Operations tab is very handy.
