#1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.

is there something wrong with my config file?

/*

$i = 0;

/*

$i++;
/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
/* Server parameters */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
/* Select mysql if your server does not have mysqli */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;

/*

 */

/* User used to manipulate with storage */
 $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlhost'] = '';
 $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = '<username here>';
 $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '<password here>';

Answer 1

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = '<username here>';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '<password here>';

Those two lines at the very least need to be configured, if you just did a base install either they're both blank or the username is root and the password is blank. If you assigned a user name and password they go in those fields, and since your allow no password is set to false then you need to set your DB up with a username and password or set that value to true. Having no password when testing locally is fine, NOT when you upload it to your live server though.

If it helps, this is what my config.inc.php file looks like:

<?php
/*
 * This is needed for cookie based authentication to encrypt password in
 * cookie
 */
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'xampp'; /* YOU SHOULD CHANGE THIS FOR A MORE SECURE COOKIE AUTH! */

/*
 * Servers configuration
 */
$i = 0;

/*
 * First server
 */
$i++;

/* Authentication type and info */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;

/* User for advanced features */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '';

/* Advanced phpMyAdmin features */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = 'phpmyadmin';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma_bookmark';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = 'pma_relation';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = 'pma_table_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = 'pma_table_coords';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = 'pma_pdf_pages';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] = 'pma_column_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] = 'pma_history';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_coords'] = 'pma_designer_coords';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking'] = 'pma_tracking';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['userconfig'] = 'pma_userconfig';

/*
 * End of servers configuration
 */

?>

If I go into phpMyAdmin and click the privileges tab I also have the following users:

User    Host    Password    Global privileges   Grant
Any     %         --        USAGE               No
Any     localhost No        USAGE               No
pma     localhost No        USAGE               No
root    127.0.0.1 No        ALL PRIVILEGES      Yes
root    localhost No        ALL PRIVILEGES      Yes

将其全部关闭后，删除所有相关的cookie，然后，如果不起作用，请检查您的php ini配置文件，以查看用户是否已更改。
