Accessing PHPMyAdmin via URL (without cPanel)

Question

I am having issues accessing PHPMyAdmin from cPanel. It will not allow me to as I am logged in a root.

I cannot seem to be able to make another account for cPanel either, and research indicates this is not possible.

I thought I could just login directly to a PHPMyAdmin database using a database username and password and URL extension or port number but I cannot find any information on how.

Does anyone know the correct way to do this?

Thanks!

Solution

I found the issue was the user for that cPanel account actually had an identical password to my WHM account and this threw an error (though user names were different). I changed it and it was ok.

@DisgruntledGoat Or, even better, Adminer, which is only one file so it is much easier to upload
