How can I hide information_schema database from phpMyAdmin?

How can I hide information_schema database from phpMyAdmin?

By default, phpMyAdmin shows all databases available to a user. So, in addition to the databases that belong to the user, the information_schema database is also visible to them.

To hide the information_schema database from phpMyAdmin on a particular MySQL logical server, add the following line to the phpMyAdmin config.inc.php file:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db'] = ‘information_schema’;

Please note that this affects only phpMyAdmin, and users will still be able to use the information_schema database from other applications (for example, from the mysql command-line client).

What Happens When You Upgrade or Migrate to Panel 10

What Happens When You Upgrade or Migrate to Panel 10

When you upgrade or migrate to Panel 10, accounts, domains, users, and domain templates are transformed according to the following schemes:

* Reseller accounts are transferred without changes, and resources are allocated to them by means of custom subscription, which are not bound to plans.

* Client accounts become customer accounts, and after upgrade or migration is finished, you need to perform either of the following operations to make sure that the accounts fit in the new business model:
o Redistribute former clients’ resources among the subscriptions belonging to them.
o Convert customers to resellers and assign the existing subscriptions to them. This can be done if the customer accounts did not belong to a reseller before upgrade or migration.

* Domains are converted to individual subscriptions. The subscriptions are assigned to the administrator, resellers, or customers, depending on whom the former domains belonged to.
* Domain administrator accounts are converted to user accounts, which are assigned to the customers who own the corresponding domains.
* Domain templates belonging to the server administrator and resellers are converted to hosting plans.
* Reseller templates are converted to reseller plans.

# mysql -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow ` psa

and run the queries:

mysql> INSERT INTO misc VALUES (’admin_news_dismissed’,3);

To hide news frame for Plesk client account (replace cl_id with an ID of needed Client, it can be known from from psa.clients table):

mysql> INSERT INTO cl_param VALUES (cl_id,’news_dismissed’,3);

To hide news frame for Plesk domain administrator account (replace dom_id with an ID of needed domain, it can be known from from psa.domains table):

mysql> INSERT INTO dom_param VALUES (dom_id,’news_dismissed’,3);

To hide news frame for Plesk mail account (replace mn_id with an ID of needed mail account, it can be known from from psa.mail table):

mysql> INSERT INTO mn_param VALUES (mn_id,’news_dismissed’,3);

The value 3 in above commands means that News up to Plesk 8.2 will be hidden.
