    What’s the best way to setup phpMyAdmin with a dynamic IP? I keep getting locked out and it has become annoying!

    Can you elaborate little bit?

    Where, how are you setting this up?

    Can you set up a static IP?

    Basically, right now, I have it set to my current IP however, when it changes I have to go into the phpMyAdmin.conf file and change the IP every time I get locked out, restart Apache and then I’m good. But that’s incredibly annoying.

    phpMyAdmin.conf:

    <Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
       <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
         # Apache 2.4
         <RequireAny>
           Require ip MY_IP
           Require ip ::1
         </RequireAny>
       </IfModule>
       <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
         # Apache 2.2
         Order Deny,Allow
         Deny from All
         Allow from MY_IP
         Allow from ::1
       </IfModule>
    </Directory>

    @BenWalker The only problem with the password protected directory is that it’s not as secure as requiring a specific IP. I was hoping I could, in some way, auto update the phpMyAdmin.conf file with my current IP.

    ( @chrisburton ) Hello Chris,

    Could you create VPN (Virtual Private Network) on your server network?

    I could. I’ve never dealt with VPN’s before, however.
