@nschopra,

thank, this will only change the username and password of EE admin?

Ah! My Bad, didn’t read the query properly. Which specific tool you’re trying to access?

As mentioned here, EasyEngine admin tools can be accessed using 22222 port. https://example.com:22222. Default Username/Password is easyengine/easyengine. It by any chance that is not working or you don’t know your username/password you can reset them by doing:

sudo ee secure --auth

How to access phpMyAdmin installed with EasyEngine? phpMyadmin is listed under db section in EasyEngine admin tools. So to access phpMyadmin use https://example.com:22222/db/pma/

Where to find MySQL username & Password? Suppose you have run ee stack install. MySQL username and password are stored in .my.cnf file. The Location of file depends on which user runs ee stack install. i.e root@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:~# sudo ee stack install command creates file in home directory of sudo user i.e here in /home/harshad/.my.cnf and root@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-32:~# ee stack install run with root user creates file at /root/.my.cnf location.

Since EasyEngine v3.3.5, the file .my.cnf isn’t created anymore. Instead, the new location file is /etc/mysql/conf.d/my.cnf.

@nschopra,

On our multisite, there are at least 10 subsites, but if I use “ee site show mysite.com”, it only show some of all subsites, does that mean there is wrong configuration setting? please check blow:

Hi @nschopra

does this commend line support deleting only a sub site?

ee site delete example.com --db

for example:

ee site delete subsiteA.example.com --db

please confirm, thanks.

nschopra · May 13, 2018, 2:16am

Hey Alexlii, Glad I could be helpful. Sorry, but I won’t be able to help with any query about Multisite as I have never created one. Also, I am not sure about Redis Clean query. Hope, some expert will be able to answer it.

Tagging @virtubox as he is the one who can answer these for sure.

alexlii · May 18, 2018, 6:09pm

Sorry for later reply, and thanks so much.
