Hello Folks..

I recently installed 'phpMyAdmin' (with 'Xampp'), but I don't know how it works and I find no solution to my problem on the internet and also not on this forum..

First of all my problem: I don't know what I have to type in as login information right here...! I can get into phpMyAdmin with '/localhost/phpMyAdmin/' but I can't log in on for example phpMyAdmin demo page or 'db4free.net'. I looked up the whole internet sitting here for three hours and I don't know what to do..

What I can do: I can get right here... I tried changing passwords in FAQ of xampp in the setting of phpMyAdmin and the config. I tried to go to '/localhost/xampp/' but all I get right there is this:

"Index of /xampp

[ICO] Name Last modified Size Description [PARENTDIR] Parent Directory -
Apache/2.4.18 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2e PHP/7.0.6 Server at localhost Port 80"

I would appreciate your help. Thanks! :)

  • I don't understand why you're mentioning db4free.net or the phpMyAdmin demo page. – apokryfos Jun 24 '16 at 16:03
  • Because I don't know I have to type in there at the phpMyAdmin login page. I can log in locally.. It is set to just log in without having this login page too.(locally), but I want to login on those pages. – creativecreatorormaybenot Jun 24 '16 at 16:06
  • You need to have access to their database in order to be able to use their phpMyAdmin, i.e., you need a valid username and password which they will provide. – apokryfos Jun 24 '16 at 16:11
  • If you want to log in an external database you have to change the host in the config.php. – KIMB-technologies Jun 24 '16 at 16:14
  • Well how do I get it? I didn't find any information and also I tried changing the cookie auth or how it's called to use the login page locally and it didn't work? So I had the same problem. @apokryfos thanks – creativecreatorormaybenot Jun 24 '16 at 16:14
  • @KIMB-technologies can you give me a detailed explanation on how to do it? Would be super cool! :) – creativecreatorormaybenot Jun 24 '16 at 16:16

try using username as root and use password as blank or use the password that you set

  • I tried all combinations with root and tried setting different password but it always gave back "#1045 - Access denied for user 'develop'@'localhost' (using password: YES)". Then I tried changing the using password but it was on true already. So yes.. – creativecreatorormaybenot Jun 24 '16 at 16:05
  • It has to be `root@localhost (using password: NO)` to work, so please have a look at your [PHPMyAdmin config.php](https://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/config.inc.php) and uncomment all passwords and usernames. – KIMB-technologies Jun 24 '16 at 16:08
  • $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'root'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true; $cfg['Lang'] = ''; What do I have to change there @KIMB-technologies ? – creativecreatorormaybenot Jun 24 '16 at 16:12
  • No it looks good, because you wrote `'develop'@'localhost'` I thought of an error there. – KIMB-technologies Jun 24 '16 at 16:13

This problem is not really related to phpMyAdmin. I did just not get how the interface of db4free.net works.
