phpmyadmin

[kez]

Hi,

 

I'm running Gentoo.

 

When I enter http://10.0.0.5/phpmyadmin/index.php in my browser I get:

"Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.6.2-rc1 Wrong username/password. Access denied"

which is obviously a problem.

 

What I have tried to resolve this:

 

1) I have re-set the MySQL passwords and MySQL appears to be working fine. I did this with the following sequence of commands:

mysqld --skip-grant-tables &

mysql -u root mysql

UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('mypassword') WHERE User='root';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

 

2) I have also identified .htaccess files in the following directories:

/var/localhost/htdocs/pub/.htaccess

/var/localhost/htdocs/includes/.htaccess

/var/localhost/htdocs/download/.htaccess

/var/localhost/htdocs/admin/.htaccess

but not in

/var/localhost/htdocs/phpmyadmin/ so it seems like it shouldn't matter.

I haven't found a .passwd control file.

 

I'm new to php and don't understand the scripting within php yet or the .htaccess files.

Anyone offer any ideas to get phpmyadmin going ?

 

regards, Kez

I would be tempted to drop the database and re-create it from scratch and see if that makes a difference

 

The .htaccess files are an apache construct that tell the server how to process files and data calls. You can do it within apache (which is the recommended way if you have access to root or at the directory level if you are on a shared server.
