I'm currently using phpmyadmin to edit the mysql database. I've placed a password on every single user there is through phpmyadmin, but if I use another computer, I can access phpmyadmin, change databases, delete users, and have total control over the mysql database.

I have no clue how to change this. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!

try reading http://os17fan.cjb.net/web/phpmyadmin_tutorial.html

or set a password to the folder with abyss' access control option in the config.

qwertz,

Set a password on the path where PhpMyAdmin is (see http://www.aprelium.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=544 for more information).

Just to clairify what setting users for MySQL is:

To access your MySQL database, via command prompt, phpMyAdmin, or whatever you choose, you will not normally have to set a password. If you set one, then each program will have to know the password in order to access the database. phpMyAdmin does not prompt you for a password, because it has the MySQL password stored in the config file. That is why you need to take it upon yourself to protect phpMyAdmin; not MySQL.
