Your web hosting service should provide this access to the database administration. It sounds like you did not set up the database. This would cause the issue you are having, since the scripts are trying to contact a non-existent database.
Contact your web host or go through their help pages to find how to access PHP. The configuration guidelines on lightningmaps.org offer examples on how to configure it and what it needs.
I access
phpMyAdmin via my Cpanel for my hosted site. If you have Cpanel, you might find the login there. My old web host, e-rice had a separate login for
phpMyAdmin, so it may vary at different hosts.
Stan, you can see the result of MyLightingDetection for my site at:

effort. My waveform plots, are "broken" for some reason (they used to work), but since these are only visible after a log-in, I just use the lightningmaps.org version instead.
