MAC OS X Setup with phpMyAdmin

[Clive Sanders]

I am having a problem setting up the config.inc.php file in phpMyAdmin.

I have amended the mysql user account in Mac OSX in NetInfo and given it a password.

I have amended the config.inc.php file control user to the same settings, but I keep getting the messsage 'Access denied for user mysql@localhost using Password: Yes)

I have tried all sorts of combinations of user names and passwords for control user and user and the only one I can get to work is user = root with a blank password and controluser name and password of blank, which gives me a warning that MySQL is running with the default privileged account which is a security risk.

Can anyone help me please.
