I just updated my mac to 10.13 and reinstalled my dev tools. While setting up phpmyadmin it was unable to connect to mysql using:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
phpmyadmin throws:
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.
instead I had to use to get it working:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
In the past I could leave the default "localhost" and had no issues but it won't connect via socket any more.
My mysql user is 'root'#'localhost', using latest mysql, apache, phpmyadmin.
What could be the reason?
Thanks
Thanks to #N00b Pr0grammer's suggestion, I went trough the different solution still I figured it out.
On fresh installs of OS X, php.ini is turned off, and by default looks for mysqli.default_socket at "/var/mysql/mysql.sock" so I had to 1. rename php.ini.default to php.ini than 2. set:
mysqli.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
and restart apache. Now phpmyadmin is able to connect to mysql via localhost as well.
There can be more than one reason for this to happen and the same has been discussed on this question as well. I suggest that you go through the answers provided on this question to resolve the error based on your environment that you hold.
This is the ServerFault question!
The common problem that I tend to see in dev environments is this:
You may have IPv6 enabled, its very possible localhost resolves to the IPv6 localhost, that is not defined in your MySQL config.
HI Any one can help me that how i can reset my phpmyadmin root password.
when i am going to open localhost/phpmyadmin i got this error..
"
Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole by setting a password for user 'root'. "
and when i click on user to change my password i face this error
Error : Token mismatch
I also try this method:
After started XAMPP server, i go to the browser and type the URL localhost/security/ (incase you've modified XAMPP server port, you need to include that port number also in previous URL). The security page will be shown where you can change the root password for MySQL. This will update the phpMyAdmin config also.
i have follow this method but i cannot solve my problem plz help me out this problem
Go to \xampp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php
then
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'WhateverPassword';//near line 21
or Run this command
mysqladmin.exe -u root password 'WhateverPassword'
And Possible Duplicate of Resetting MySQL Root Password with XAMPP on Localhost
I'm new to mac and mySQL. I installed mySQL 5.6.14 and mySQLWorkbench 1.6. I turned on mySQL in system preferences.
Then I went into workbench, clicked to add a new connection and filled in the details: host is localhost; username is root; password is empty/nothing. Tested the connection and its all good.
Clicked OK and got this error: Exception caught while processing action from home screen: error calling Python module function WbAdmin.autoDetectLocalInstance.
I also can not access mySQL from the terminal.
I've googled and can't find anything. Has anyone got any ideas of what could be wrong something I could try to fix it.
I've had de same problem. For me the solution:
Check that you have the file /etc/my.cnf
if you don't have sudo cp my-default.cnf on the terminal
Try to put password Virlli$ sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'password'
Restart Mysql and Workbench
for Mysql :sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop
If you are a mac your default password is root . Same as the username.
I've had the same problem. I solved this issue by getting settings section from main window and then connecting from appeared connection from the main window.
I have a local host running on XAMPP on a Mac. At some point I set a password in phpMyAdmin which I've ow forgotten. Can anyone help me get back into phpMyAdmin? I've followed a ton of tutorials but they all either don't work or refer to some file that doesn't seem to be on my computer. Is there an easy way?
When I try to open:
http://localhost
I get:
The Server http://localhost:80 requires a username and password
You want to edit this file:
"\xampp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php"
change this line:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'WhateverPassword';
to whatever your password is.
If you don't remember your password, then run this command in the Shell:
mysqladmin.exe -u root password WhateverPassword
where 'WhateverPassword' is your new password.
There is a batch file called resetroot.bat located in the xammp folders 'C:\xampp\mysql' run this and it will delete the phpmyadmin passwords. Then all you need to do is start the MySQL service in xamp and click the admin button.
The question may be getting old, but I've struggled with the same issue just now.
After deleting passwords with resetroot.bat, as instructed by Nedshed, you can choose another password by going to http://localhost/security/index.php
The best thing is to go to your phpmyadmin folder and open config.inc.php and change allownopassword=false to $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;

You need to stop Mysql and change user password using Commands.
Hi this worked for me "/opt/lampp/xampp security" in Centos
[root#XXXXX ~]# /opt/lampp/xampp security
XAMPP: Quick security check...
XAMPP: Your XAMPP pages are secured by a password.
XAMPP: Do you want to change the password anyway? [no] yes
XAMPP: Password:
XAMPP: Password (again):
XAMPP: Password protection active. Please use 'xampp' as user name!
XAMPP: MySQL is not accessable via network. Good.
XAMPP: MySQL has a root passwort set. Fine! :)
XAMPP: The FTP password for user 'daemon' is still set to 'xampp'.
XAMPP: Do you want to change the password? [yes]
XAMPP: Password:
XAMPP: Password (again):
XAMPP: Reload ProFTPD...ok.
XAMPP: Done.
[root#XXXXX ~]#
This is what helped me:
Wherever you have installed XAMPP open PhpMyAdmin Folder,( In my
case C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin).
There you find a file named config.php, open it with notepad or any
editor.
You find user and password for phpMyAdmin like this.
/* Authentication type and info */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
**$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
$cfg['Lang'] = '';
Unless you have changed your password the default setting dont require you to enter a password to connect to the MYSQL server, try:
mysql_connect('localhost','root','');
if not then you can export your databases to a external file, just follow these instructions.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-backup.html
if you are unable to access phpMyAdmin then try,
http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/11/26/how-to-reset-a-lost-mysql-root-password/
Reinstalling the software fixes the issue, just make sure not to delete the htdocs folder in the process.
I installed xampp,but when I tried to run it I got an error as thus:
Error
MySQL said: Documentation
1045 - Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
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 tried to search on internet for a solution, but I still can't fix my problem. I have already checked whether I used a password or not in config.inc.php file but i have not used any password.Also, when i try to access with a password, I still can't solve this problem.
I hope anyone can help me. .thank you
I had this problem after changing the password for the root user in phpMyAdmin. I know nothing about programming but I solved it by doing the following:
Go to file C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1\config.inc.php (I guess you would replace "wamp" with the name of your server if you're not using Wamp Server)
Find the line $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='' and change this to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='NO'
Try opening phpMyAdmin again, and hopefully the message will now read "Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: YES)
Now change the password in the above line to 'yourpassword' (whatever you had set it to before)
Try this:
Open config.inc.php file in the phpmyadmin directory
Find line 21: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
Change it to: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'your_password';
Restart XAMPP
Reference
Go to the file C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1\config.inc.php
Find the line $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='' and change it to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='root'
where root is the name of the password you had set in this instance
Hope this helps somebody.
Step one: Go to...
C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin
Step Two: Open the config.inc.php file
Step Three: Locate the following information and change the password.
/* Authentication type and info */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'ENTER_YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'ENTER_YOUR_PASS_HERE';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
$cfg['Lang'] = '';
Here's the solution to getting the 1045 Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO) in phpMyAdmin.
First here's what happens:
The problem occurs when you change over from using phpMyAdmin with no password and mysql with no root password. You change root in mysql to having a root password. You dutifully change phpMyAdmin's config.ini.php file's $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='' line to include your password and restart everything you can find, but phpMyAdmin still can't get through.
The reason is that your browser still contains cookies for phpMyAdmin and those cookies reflect not needing a password to access mysql.
The solution:
Clear out the cookies relating to phpMyAdmin. Its browser specific, but in my Firefox, its under Tools > Page Info > Cookies.
You might need to relog in with phpMyAdmin or use the signon.php script (under /examples in my WAMP install).
Try this:
1. xampp/htdocs/xampp/cds.php
change line 4 to: mysql_connect("localhost","root","enter password here");
change line 64 to: if(!mysql_connect("localhost","root","enter password here"))
From here
reset your mysql password on xampp security page.
restart your mysql service and then access the phpmyadmin page using your password. i tried it. this is working fine for me.
I'm using Linux Mint 18.2 of this writing. I had a similar issue; when trying to load myphpadmin, it said: "1045 - Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)"
I found the file in the /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin directory. I opened the config.inc.php file with my text editor and typed in the correct password. Saved it, and launched it successfully. Profit!
I was having problems with modifying folders and files, I had to change permission to access all my files in /opt/lampp/ directory. I hope this helps someone in the future.
I'm afraid there's a conflict with the port number(80). Make sure you don't run some software like Skype that use the same port 80
I think to troubleshoot your problem you should try the following:
Check whether the MySQL service is running (Control Panel --> services)
Use a MySQL client like SQLYOG to check whether you are able to connect to MYSQL Server with the username and password you are using in your code.
Just try a sample php program, which fetches the data from table
Ex. http://www.anyexample.com/programming/php/php_mysql_example__display_table_as_html.xml
1045 - Access denied for user 'root'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
solution:
Step 1: Open Location of you wamp/xampp
Step 2: Go to phpmyadmin
Step 3: Open config.inc.php
Step 4: Change the password to the password set for the MySql server and not anything else in this: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''
Step 5: Restart all services /restart wamp/xampp.
I had this problem with a fresh install of wamp and using only default settings without setting any passwords. I found an incorrect default setting and I solved it by the following steps:
Go to C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin4.1.14 (Your phpmyadmin version# may differ)
open the file config.inc in a text editor
find the line: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
change it to $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
save the file
restart all services in wamp
The problem seems to be that someone forgot to make the server and host match in the configuration files.
Try resetting your password since it seems it has changed you can reset your password by going to
C:\xampp\mysql
and clicking on the resetroot.bat file
Then change in the php config file the password back to blank and you should have access again
Open the config.inc.php file in the WAMP phpmyadmin directory
Change the line ['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''
to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'your_mysql_root_password';
Clear browser cookies
Then Restart all services on WAMP
This worked for me.
NB: the password to use has to be the MySQL password.....
My.ini from the file #password and #bind-address="127.0.0.1" are commented change the password to root and uncomment bind-address="127.0.0.1" and from the file cds.php change the
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", ""); to
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "root");
Stop the Mysql services and try login again it got logged in.
I had this same problem after I dropped the special PhpMyAdmin controluser account from MySQL.
I had to update the config.inc.php file and replace the entries for 'controluser' and controlpass' with 'user' and 'password'.
So my file ended like this:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='123456';
If you are using XAMPP rather than WAMP, the path you go to is:
C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php
On OSX
I had same difficult, but a figure out a solucition
open terminal
put 'cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles'
put 'sudo ./xampp security'
then put your root password and answer the questions
Check your MySQL Port number 3306.
Is there any other MySQL Install in your system on same port ?
If any installation found the change the port number to any number between 3301-3309 (except 3306)
user name : root
password : ' ' (Empty)
try to go to Windows services and stop the MySQL service
go to your wamp server and click on "restart all services".
Refrsch your browser
