[mysql] #1130 - Host ‘localhost’ is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

I issued a command of:

DROP USER 'root'@'localhost'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'root'@'%';

...in PhpMyAdmin. Immediately after the execution, I was forced out PhpMyAdmin. I got:

error

#1130 - Host 'localhost' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server,

how to resolve my problem?

Find the file "config.inc.php" under your phpMyAdmin directory and edit the following lines:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; // config, http, cookie

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL user

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'TYPE_YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE'; // MySQL password

Note that the password used in the 'password' field must be the same for the MySQL root password. Also, you should check if root login is allowed in this line:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot']     = TRUE;        // true = allow root login

This way you have your root password set.

Use this in your my.ini under

[mysqldump]
    user=root
    password=anything
