I am doing development work on a site with a strange server set up

  • 0

I am doing development work on a site with a strange server set up where sessions basically don’t work. It’s kind of a long story, but the main crux is it’s a cluster of servers that are syncronized from an FTP server every few minutes. And for example, anything written to the filesystem in PHP gets deleted within 5 minutes.

So this means sessions don’t work and I get some strange problems in phpMyAdmin, like it forgetting which page of a table I was on – I click ‘next page’ and end up back at the start again.

I’ve also tried SQL Buddy and am getting similar problems.

Are there any equivalents that don’t use sessions? Doesn’t need to be as full-featured as PMA, it’s mainly for adding/editing some stuff.

    I found a neat solution! SQLBuddy has a feature where you can put the password in the config file and it will use it automatically without a need to log in.

    Obviously this is insecure by default, but coupled with a .htaccess and .htpasswd (which does work on the server) I’ve now got a secure login.
