PHPMyAdmin Problem

[doctor_james]

hi . I downloaded phpmyadmin 2.11.0 from phpmyadmin.net . According to the installation guide I created "config.inc.php" using the setup script ...As it says I created a config directory n set the appropriate permissions . The config file's successfully saved in "config" directory . $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] is set to "config" , I defined username & password for $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] & $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] ... I copied the generated config file to the root directory of phpmyadmin n deleted config folder .After doing all these I get this error : Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO .

have you guys had this problem ?

thanks in advance .

Sounds like a MySQL problem rather than a phpmyadmin problem.

 

User your MySQL command script and use the following command;

 

set password for

user@host = OLD_PASSWORD('newpassword')

 

That should straighten out your problem. Of course replace user, host and newpassword with the proper values.
