I have activated an app service and a mysql database on microsoft azure.
What I would like to do now is activate the phpmyadmin extension in order to use it for database management.
The problem is that the Extensions item is always disabled from the Azure app service menu.
Following online directions I successfully created a new mysql connection string using this format:
Database=DBNAME;Data Source=MYSQLHOST;User Id=USERID;Password=PWD;
Despite this, the Extensions item is still disabled.
I have also restarted the app but nothing has changed.
Following the path advanced tools > go for the kudu I get this:

If the Extensions on the App Service menu is greyed out, you could go to the Kudu site to add the extension you want.
On the App Service menu, choose Advanced Tools, click Go. You will see your app’s Kudu site, on the top of the bar , you could find the Site extensions. Then choose Gallery and search the extensions you want like phpmyadmin. Then you could clike the + button to install the extension.
Update: msdn answer
From your description, it might be that you are using a linux web app. As such, the phpmyadmin is installed as part of the docker image.
To load phpmyadmin you should visit /phpmyadmin.
The credentials are available under the application settings on the web app itself.
