无法登录到localhost / phpmyadmin

Question

i have a problem with my appserv, i am trying to log in to create a SQL database, however when i type in Localhost/phpmyadmin, it prompt the message box to fill in the username and password. and i have put it the right user and password. however my access has been denied due to wrong username/password?

this is the config.inc.php excerpt

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']     = 'http';    // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = 'albert';      // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = '1234';          // MySQL password (only needed

Note that i have changed my localhost to 127.0.0.1 even with 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin is not working too

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']          = '127.0.0.1'; // MySQL hostname or IP address

can anyone please advise what i have done wrong?

Much appreciated Albert

Answer 1

Since you're storing username and password in your configuration file try changing the auth_type to config :

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']     = 'config';

Please reference Auth types documentation for further details, especially the following lines from http section:

In config.inc.php do not fill in values for $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] and $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']
