To install phpMyAdmin so it is directly available via Moodle, unzip the archive from [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=448 Modules and plugins database] inside the ''moodle/admin'' folder. You should end up with a folder there called 'mysql'  which contains all the necessary files. Now go to your site admin block and you will see a new link: ''Server > Database''. Use this link to initially install and/or open phpMyAdmin.


For those that need phpMyAdmin to perform a Moodle install, unpack it in the documents directory (the same directory as your moodle folder, sometimes found in the folder htdocs) of your web server.  Note: many web hosting sites have phpMyAdmin already available via their control panel, you can use that to assist with the Moodle install.  
Anyone using PHPMyAdmin is recommended to switch to Adminer.
