Not sure if this is the right place for this post but I am getting this error when trying to access phpMyAdmin:
Welcome to phpMyAdmin
Error
MySQL said:
#1045 - Access denied for user ‘{root}’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
I never set the root Username myself. Could someone tell me how to access the root username or how to change it… I have a password for mysql and I can access the command prompt just fine with it…if the USERNAME is not the issue please explain.
The root account is the one that you use to access the server that the database is stored on.
How are you trying to access PHPMySql? Via command line or web access.
What type of environment do you have? A linux box, a windows server, or a local windows server using wamp or variants there-of?
Using the sitepoint book Build Your Own…Chp 10…I’ve only gotten so far as to create the config.inc.php and attempted to open browser with localhost to phpmyAdmin. Then I received the err.
