Re: phpMyAdmin - #1045 - Access denied for user 'pmausr'@'localhost' (using password: YES).

I am really grateful, though it still did not work. After much thought and hours of work (and a glass of wine or two to get the brain processes into gear) I still hadn't cracked it, so went to bed.

But heh presto it now seems to run (maybe closing the browser did it).

Instead of changing lines 72/73 I added the follwing lines to the config.ini.php file.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'mypassword';

Do you know what these lines are for?

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pmausr';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'pmapass';

I did REM these out, and then added 'pmausr'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pmapass' as a MySQL user, and then got it going using 'pmausr' although 'root' now also works OK, so I am not sure whether I kicked started something accidentally. The joys of programming eh.

Cheers.
