I think cookies are your only problem. Do you have them turned off in your browsers or are you running some sort of internet security/anti virus software.

Cookies are turned on

Oh, any popup blockers installed?

I also have an error with this contrib.  The error I get is

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I get the same error when using admin as the login

Can somebody point me in the right direction to fix this as I don't know what to do?

Regards

This is phpMyAdmin general not SME specific.

phpMyAdmin, at it's simplest best (single user) requires a MySQL user that has all privileges to connect.

So, at the shell,

Code: [Select]

mysql -uroot

now, at the mysql> prompt

Code: [Select]


mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'monty'@'localhost'
     > IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;
     > quit


Now we add the above user (monty) and password (some_pass) to the phpmyadmin config file - config.inc.php

It maybe located in this directory..
/opt/administration/phpmyadminmulti

The parts to edit are

Code: [Select]

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']     = 'cookie';    // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = '';          // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = '';          // MySQL password (only needed

Between the ' ' place config monty some_pass

Code: [Select]

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']     = 'config';    // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = 'monty';          // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = 'some_pass';          // MySQL password (only needed

Save and now go to your phpmysql url.

It is now setup in the most basic way.

Now that it working, create another user that only you know.

Exit out and edit config.inc.php to how it's shown below. cookie blank blank

Code: [Select]

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']     = 'cookie';    // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = '';          // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = '';          // MySQL password (only needed

Also, ensure this line is at the top somewhere...

Code: [Select]

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'xf5g4+6x4g6n4x+fg4n+x4+9n-xg-h*-+-*-*+89gx-+8n-xgh-+x8-gd-xdg4n+-xgx7*g+-nx-g7n+';
Save and exit and return to your pma url.
Now login as the user you just created and delete the monty dude

You should now have something looking like this..
