Using Technomancer.co.uk services? At some point there's going to be questions, announcements, or cool new toys. Here is where they live.

In order to easily secure phpMyadmin and a number of other services, they are only accessible internally on ther server, users will need to use an SSH tunnel in order to access these.

Helpful guides are available at:

and for PuTTY:

If you are using ssh from you PC, try

ssh -f username@technomancer.co.uk -L 8888:localhost:80 -N

and then connect to http://localhost:8888/phpmyadmin (or similar for other services) from your favourite browser.

With PuTTY, set up the rest of the connection as before and then go to SSH -> Tunnels use source port 8888 and destination localhost:80 and click add.
