Database management in CyberPanel

A step-by-step guide to creating and administering databases in CyberPanel.

CyberPanel utilizes a combination of MariaDB and the phpMyAdmin web interface to deliver high performance and ease of data management. The system allows you to quickly create databases, manage users, and perform import/export operations through an intuitive graphical interface.

Working with phpMyAdmin

For direct table management, executing SQL queries, or editing records, CyberPanel comes with phpMyAdmin pre-installed:

  1. Navigate to Databases → PHPMyAdmin.
  2. The system will automatically redirect you to the database management interface. You won't need to re-enter your credentials, as the panel uses Single Sign-On (SSO) technology.

If you plan to import a large database dump via phpMyAdmin, ensure the file size does not exceed the upload_max_filesize limits set in your PHP configuration.

Deleting and changing passwords

If you need to revoke access or update credentials:

  • Use the Delete Database section to completely remove a database and its associated users.
  • The List Databases section allows you to view all databases for a specific site and quickly manage them.
  • Click Manage to authorize remote connections to the database from a specific IP address.
