Bitnami wordpress install cannot locate wordpress DB

We have a Bitnami Wordpress stack installed on one of our Windows servers.

The Wordpress install is working fine, AFAICT.

I need to export the SQL from the DB, so I went to the Bitnami phpmyadmin, by clicking the button in the Bitnami Manager app, which opens Firefox with http://127.0.0.1:8000/phpmyadmin

However, all I see in the list of databases are the phpmyadmin defaults: information_schema and test.

The wp-config file says the db is called bitnami_wordpress.

But I can't figure out why this DB is not in the list. Any suggestions??

Solution

  • Actually, it turned out that accessing the phpmyadmin via a browser on my computer was not sufficient. I needed to access the actual computer the server was running on.

    So I needed to use Remote Desktop to access the PC, open a browser there, access phpmyadmin and then all the DBs appeared.
