Installed php Myadmin but keep getting Access denied

[runnerjp]

I have just installed phpMyAdmin 2.11.10 but when i go to the login page all i get is

 

Error

MySQL said: 

 

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

 

Below is my config.inc.php

 

<?php
/*
* Generated configuration file
* Generated by: phpMyAdmin 2.11.10 setup script by Michal ÄŒihaÅ™ <[email protected]>

*/

/* Servers configuration */
$i = 0;

/* Server localhost (config:root) [1] */
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['order'] = '';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['rules'] = array();



/* End of servers configuration */

 

Should it just come up with a login sceen asking for my details and i can then login??

 

Am i supposed to do something with Configure server??

I think the login credentials you give to phpmyadmin should be a user to the database not a user to the hosting account.

Make sure that the login details you are entering correct.

it seems you are login to the phpmyadmin with mysql username(root) with blank password.

but where as your mysql password is not blank.

 

you have to login with phpmyadmin with mysql username ans password

The error probably means that root has a password, but you are not supplying it, hence the (Using password: NO)  :-)
