Answer 1

The SQL query SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name = 'hostname' will show you the hostname of the MySQL server which you can easily resolve to its IP address.

SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name = 'port' Will give you the port number.

You can find details about this in MySQL's manual: 12.4.5.41. SHOW VARIABLES Syntax and 5.1.4. Server System Variables

Answer 2

MySQL doesn't care what IP its on. Closest you could get would be hostname:

select * from GLOBAL_variables where variable_name like 'hostname';

Ergo

Answer 3

select * from SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name = 'hostname';

If someone is trying to run this in phpMyAdmin, remove the 'select * from'. It should simply be: SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name = 'hostname' – Firefly

Answer 4

The server's address is stored in config.php

Answer 5

As an alternative, since you know the hostname, resolve the database server IP via hostname from the web server.

Answer 7

You can ssh to your server and run this command

 ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin

It worked for me..
