A database management system (DBMS) is a software package designed to define, manipulate, retrieve, and manage data in a database. The system allows deleting, adding, and modifying databases. 

ISPmanager supports the following databases:

  • MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS). phpMyAdmin is installed with ISPmanager by default and is used as a database management interface. You can set up remote access to the DBMS in ISPmanager;
  • PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system. phpPgAdmin is used as a database management web interface. It can manage a large number of tables and perform more complex requests. You cannot set up remote access to the DBMS in ISPmanager;

To install a database server and a web interface for its management: 

  1. Go to Settings Features.
  2. Select:
    • MySQL server;
    • PostgreSQL server.
  3. Click on Install.
  4. Select the corresponding web interface: 
    • MySQL management interface (phpMyAdmin) ;
    • PostgreSQL management interface (phpPgAdmin).
  5. Click on Install.
