Need Help... Can't connect to PHPmyAdmin

I can port in to my website instance on lightsail with SSH. However when I try to load https://127.0.0.1:8888/phpmyadmin in my browser I get this error: 127.0.0.1 refused to connect.

I turned off windows firewall and have search the web ad infinitum trying to solve this problem.

I installed a wordpress plugin on a site I am building with PAA/AI and broke it. I was able to delete all but one plugin via FTP so I need to deactivate on phpmyadmin and cant get to it. That or just start over on the site now that I got the scrips working like I need to,

Thanks in advance....

Can't help you with this particular issue, but it seems something has messed up with the config files of the web server and port forwarding is not working.

You haven't specified what web server you are using, so the best way is to locate the config files and start from there. For example, Apache has some strange issues with virtual hosts.

Its on AWS lightsail. This is the first time I ever tried to connect other that setting up wordpress with bitnami. I have never worked at this level before if it was on cpanel I got that ..

I would not know where to start to look at the config files and find errors..

I picked AWS as a host for amazon name servers ...

Probably the web server is Apache so the config files should be here:


If you said is the first time you are connecting to phpMyAdmin, then probably your connection is wrong.

I have to experience with Lightsail, but here is a guide.

Thanks for the help ...

I had a back up of the site it backs up everyday at 1 am.. I just reinstated that .. I guess for now on before I install an unknown plugin I will create a snapshot. Just for this case,,,,
