The ―paths‖ in the above table indicate each application’s location relative to your

http://208.67.219.137/wordpress.

PHPMyAdmin is a utility to manage the MySQL databases of the applications on your MeeBox. These databases

When adding your own database-driven web application, PHPMyAdmin provides an easy way to create the
application’s database, among other tasks.
