phpmyadmin

 #do all as 'root'

 #get phpmyadmin.tar.gz, place it to /apps/apache2.2.3/htdocs/
 #and untar

 cd phpMyAdmin
 mkdir config
 chmod 777 config
 cp config.sample.inc.php config/config.inc.php
 chmod 666 config/config.inc.php

 open browser (as 'root' ?), type following URL:
     http://clonweb/phpMyAdmin/scripts/setup.php

 Click on the "Add" button in the "Servers" section and fill in the following
 fields:

     Server hostname:	clondb1.jlab.org
        (This is the host that your MySQL server is running on)

     Server port:	3306
        (the port your MySQL server is configured to use)

     Password for config auth:	....
        (the root password for your MySQL server)

 Press the button that says "Add" in green. Then press the "Save" button in
 the "Configuration" section.

 Now copy the configuration file into the main directory and delete the config
 directory:

     cp config/config.inc.php ./
     rm -rf config

 Assuming your MySQL server is running, you are now ready to connect to it and
 administer it with phpMyAdmin.

 >>>NOTE: all this did not worked for me, so I edited manually 'config.inc.php'
 >>>puting in clondb1.jlab.org, user 'root' and root mysql password on clondb1.

 Start a Web browser and enter the following URL:
     http://clonweb/phpMyAdmin/
