[phpmyadmin] PHPMyAdmin Default login password

I have done a fresh installation of Fedora 14 and installed the phpMyAdmin module. When I run phpMyAdmin, it asks me for a username and password.

What is the default username and password for phpMyAdmin?

This question is related to phpmyadmin

The answer is


This is asking for your MySQL username and password.

You should enter these details, which will default to "root" and "" (i.e.: nothing) if you've not specified a password.


I just installed Fedora 16 (yea, I know it's old and not supported but, I had the CD burnt :) )

Anyway, coming to the solution, this is what I was required to do:

su -
gedit /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php

if not found... try phpmyadmin - all small caps.

gedit /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

Locate

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword']

and set it to:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = TRUE;

Save it.


If it was installed with plesk (not sure if it's just that, or on the phpmyadmin side: It changes the root user to admin.


Default is:

Username: root

Password: [null]

The Password is set to 'password' in some versions.
