phpmyadmin configuration problem

[tkm]

Hello Mates,

I am trying to configure config.inc.php for phpmyadmin. I am doing the following:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']            = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port']            = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket']          = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type']    = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension']       = 'mysql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress']        = FALSE;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser']     = 'pma';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass']     = 'pmapass';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']       = 'http';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']            = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']        = '';

GRANT USAGE ON mysql.* TO 'pma'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pmapass';
GRANT SELECT (Host, User, Select_priv, Insert_priv, Update_priv, Delete_priv, Create_priv, Drop_priv, Reload_priv, Shutdown_priv, Process_priv, File_priv, Grant_priv, References_priv, Index_priv, Alter_priv, Show_db_priv, Super_priv, Create_tmp_table_priv, Lock_tables_priv, Execute_priv, Repl_slave_priv, Repl_client_priv) ON mysql.user TO 'pma'@'localhost';

GRANT SELECT ON mysql.db TO 'pma'@'localhost';
GRANT SELECT ON mysql.host TO 'pma'@'localhost';
GRANT SELECT (Host, Db, User, Table_name, Table_priv, Column_priv) ON mysql.tables_priv TO 'pma'@'localhost';

 

when I open phpmyadmin index page, it doesn't take my root username/password. However I can log into phpmyadmin when I use the same root username and password in config auth_type. Can anyone please point out where I am doing wrong? Thank you.

Well considering this is in the IIS thread, I'll assume youre on an IIS server.  Try changing your auth type to cookie instead of config.  Some of the other auth methods simply arent available for php running on IIS...
