phpMyAdmin is public !

Here's away with another dopey question. Or should I say what have I NOT done or done incorrectly.

phpMyAdmin is running tickityboo... (dead chuffed, I am)

MySQL database is also running tickityboo! (mega chuffed with that too!)

The big problem is the World and its Granny can view my phpMyAdmin!

I followed a tutorial from a link in this forum which told me to create a dir in my Abyss Web Server folder (not in the htdocs) called scripts and install phpMyAdmin in there.

It is probably something which I haven't done, or done properly, but I've been over the install and this forum like a rash, and I'm beggered if I can find what it is.

Any help in my folly would be appreciated....

After 2 hours of searching to find nothing for my problem, lo and behold two posts down and 10 minutes was the answer....

Someone with far more knowledge than I have sense wrote:

Have phpMyAdmin protect MySQL and Abyss protect phpMyAdmin..... (Ref. Victor B. Guide: How to Install phpMyAdmin)

How does it Go, I see no ships Hardy......

Only Hardships!

OPEN config.inc.php.

FIND $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?

CHANGE TO $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?

Also, this belongs in General Questions, not tutorials.
