More recent help with phpmyadmin

[PaulK]

Hi guys

I don't seem to be able to get a decent version of phpmyadmin installed and working on my site.

If I use a new version of phpmyadmin 2.8.x I get the standard error of:
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

If I use an old version 2.6.x It all seems to log in ok, I can get a list of my DBs on the left frame but clicking any link brings a 404 error, effectively after it connects it becomes useless.

I have read every post on this error within the forum, and I have tried the tutorials from here, trustabyss and abussunderground.

Can someone recommend a fully functioning version and maybe update what seems to be an old yet common problem.

I am using php4 and mysql4 and I can connect no problem through dos and all systems are running on the same pc.

If anyone would like to offer to help me out please get me on MSN sulleyonline@hotmail.com

Thanks Paul

Could have sworn I replied to this topic.
Anyway, I doubt very much it's a case of phpmyadmin "not working", I also doubt it's incompatability between php and mysql - all of that stuff is bollocks.

Perhaps it seems obvious, but are the details in the configuration file actually correct? MySQL doesn't really lie.
As to the 404 error, I'm guessing that's also due to bad configuration.
Go over config.inc.php again first, and tell me if it's how it should be.

Error 404 is certainly due to a bad value of parameter $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] in your config.inc.php.

The error about the root access means that you have configured config.inc.php with no password for the database user root. So search the file for:

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

and update $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] with root's password.

Thank you for your help I now have this working.

I'm not sure what I did wrong apart from maybe follow the instruction badly (oops)

I recommend this tutorial:
