Is it possible to. Have Apache and MySQL started and running well as service on Ubuntu (I can get to MySQL through terminal and Apache works by correctly executing code which I can see by looking at localhost), then use virtual machine of Windows 8. Start there Apache and phpMyAdmin? And use phpMyAdmin in Windows 8, to connect to Ubuntu's MySQL without going through entire web?
Ubuntu's phpMyAdmin prompts kind of errors. So I can't even browse in table.
