    Hi,
    I have connected WHM to a remote MySql server. Everything's OK. The only issue is that when I open phpmyadmin it shows the IP address of the remote mysql server (172.16.1.20:3306). What should be changed to phpmyadmin displays the host name of the remote server instead of its IP address? It is a local server and has a private IP address so I have added a host name in /etc/hosts:
    172.16.1.20 databaseserver
    and put the name in /root/.my.cnf
    [client]
    password="mypassword"
    user=root
    port=3306
    host=databaseserver
    I also changed the mysql-host in the file /usr/local/cpanel/etc/cpanel.config and set it to `databaseserver`.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hello,

    I don't believe it's possible to modify the behavior of phpMyAdmin (as provided with cPanel) to hide the IP address of the actual MySQL server you are managing the database of. You can open a feature request for this at:

    Thank you.

    The strange issue is that I have done this before in one of our cPanel servers!! I attached an image, please check it out.
    I set the same configurations on the new server as the old server but the new server is showing the IP address!!!

    Hello,

    Do you notice any differences in the /root/.my.cnf file on the two cPanel servers (note this file includes the password, so don't post the password here on the public forums)? Is there a difference in cPanel versions?

    Thank you.

    The old server (which is displaying dbs):
    66.0 (build 34)
    [client]
    user=root
    password="XXXXXX"
    port=3306
    host=dbs
    -------------------
    The new server (which is displaying IP address):
    68.0 (build 27)
    [client]
    password=XXXXXX
    user=root
    port=3306
    host=dbs
