# The ability to disable/enable access to phpMyAdmin on a Rails project that has
# an installation in the public directory.
namespace :phpmyadmin do
  desc "Disable access to phpMyAdmin"
  task :disable, :roles => :web do
    run "echo 'deny from all' > #{current_path}/public/phpmyadmin/.htaccess"
  end

  desc "Enable access to phpMyAdmin"
  task :enable, :roles => :web do
    run "rm -f #{current_path}/public/phpmyadmin/.htaccess"
  end
end

This is a quick capistrano task used on a Rails project that has an installation of phpMyAdmin in the Rails directory. I wrote this after seeing too many vulnerability scans occurring on the phpmyadmin directory.
