I had installed wamp server and joomla on my local machine. It was giving phpmyadmin no access error 1045. I followed some instructions on the net and everything was fixed. I had to delete that installation because on error in joomla installation. Now when I am trying to install wamp again I am getting the same phpmyadmin error. Tried everything but could not get it working.
Sounds like you might be using the wrong username, password, or host to log in. Or have a mismatch between what you think it's set as, and what it really is set as in the database.
Or phpmyadmin's config.inc.php file has the wrong account info, or is using the wrong method to log in.
Try another WAMP package and be careful when changing database account info (know what the account's Host field is for, it should always be localhost or 127.0.0.1).

Have you tried entering your root password into the config.inc.php file (found in Wamp's apps > phpmyadmin folder)? (Also, have you seen this thread at Wamp's official site?)

I just set up XAMPP and, when I start the Apache localhost, it displays all of these errors when I search "localhost/phpmyadmin"
I am very new to this (just downloaded XAMPP) and I watched this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqfIksHKPPg on setting it up (I didn't install phpmyadmin since it was already installed with XAMPP)
I edited the notepad text files as stated in the video, but instead of a login, I get all of the error messages shown in the above picture...
I also opened config.inc.php and edited the line:
['Servers'][$i]['(MySQL root password)'] = '';$cfg
so it matched MySQL root password
Even if you have a suggestion to fix one of the errors, please still comment
Also, if you need any more information please let me know
You're getting several error messages because you have several problems :)
Cannot connect: invalid settings
Some setting is incorrect, most likely something in your config.inc.php is misspelled or incorrectly copied and pasted. Specifically, if the line ['Servers'][$i]['(MySQL root password)'] = '';$cfg is actually how it appears in your configuration, that is clearly the problem as the line should actually be $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'green'; except with you password instead of 'green'...except that only applies if your auth_type is 'config', otherwise the 'password' line isn't used at all (since you're prompted for the password at log in). I'm not sure what XAMPP does here for auth_type, but I don't think you should have had to edit the configuration file at all, since you used the XAMPP installer which should have configured everything.
The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [sha256_password]
This appears to be a bit of a version mismatch in your installed files. Access denied after setting user's password with SHA256 in phpMyAdmin goes in to more detail, but this most often occurs when you've got MySQL 8 and PHP older than 7.4. Normally, I'd suggest upgrading your PHP version — but you're using the packaged XAMPP, which certainly wouldn't ship with conflicting MySQL and PHP versions, so something is odd here. Please confirm for us your MySQL and PHP versions. You didn't happen to have an existing MySQL or PHP installation before you installed XAMPP, did you?
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed
This is probably related to the MySQL 8/PHP 7.4 conflict. There is an administrative user (called the controluser) that phpMyAdmin can use to manage some extra features, ordinarily you wouldn't need it to access phpMyAdmin (only to access those additional features), but it seems XAMPP has configured this for you. Since the authentication fails, you get an additional message that the controluser was not able to connect.
You could bypass this by commenting out the configuration lines referencing controluser and controlpass, although again the XAMPP package should have this all configured so I don't recommend that at this point.
The other messages are basically echoes of the previous messages; you get an additional protocol notification because the controluser is trying the same sha256 connection type that the main user was, and then finally phpMyAdmin is telling you that MySQL rejected the connection.
If this is a fresh XAMPP install, I'd suggest reinstalling, because something got a bit confused. I'd also suggest making sure that you don't have any other conflicting software running — XAMPP is a package of all the included parts, so you don't want to install or run your own Apache or MySQL instance which would interfere with the packaged kit.
This is the error I am getting when I run my php file. I have searched over the network and found some tricks to solve the error but all in vain. some of them suggested to change the username and password for the localhost server and some advised to change only the password.
I tried both and ended up crashing phpmyadmin panel. The other user suggested to change the ports of the running servers. I specifically use mamp as I am using mac os.
I tried to change the ports but nothing worked. Afterwards I looked upon many blogs and web-articles but they also proved to be the same. One site advised to change the mamp config by using the terminal application.
When I tried to change the mysql password nothing appeared on the screen and when I approached for changing the phpmyadmin password it reflected error which said that no such directory is found.
I reinstalled mamp several times but no effect.
Please answer as soon as possible because I am stuck here and no one seems to act as a savior for me.
Go to the config.inc.php file
In the file, search for the line
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']
and change it to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='root'
Hope it helps
I'm trying to set up WAMPServer for the first time on my personal computer to do some WordPress work. When I try to log into phpadmin with the root login, I get an error screen. The Error reads as such:
SQL query: Edit
SET lc_messages = 'en_US';
MySQL said:
1193 - Unknown system variable 'lc_messages'
I've tried running PHP version 7.0.10 and 5.6.25 but the errors occurred on both.
I'm running MySQL version 5.7.14
I've tried looking at a StackOverflow forum with the same issue, linked here, but none of the suggested fixes worked for me there, since I'm running a pretty updated version of phpMyAdmin.
The correct name for that parameter is lc-messages note a hyphen and not an underscore.
Have you amended anything in the 'my.ini'?
RE: Your Comment
Then potentially you have another MySQL runing or maybe just a rouge my.ini file on your system.
Search for my.ini and if you find it anywhere other then inside the \wamp\ or \wamp64\ folders, remove or rename it. There should not be one outside the wamp folder structure.
Worked for me
On my system there was another SQL SERVER was running, that was the problem.
Simply go to WAMPMANAGER-> MySQL-> Use a port other than 3306
(In my case, Wamp Manager automatically selected port 3308)
click ok and restart the wamp server.
I tried setting up WordPress on a Mac, I got Apache running, PHP is up and going and MySQL is running. I put WordPress in library/webserver/documents and I visit localhost/wordpress/wp-admin to do the install, and get an error establishing database connection.
So I check the database information and password and database name. Everything is correct down to the last syllable in the password, name and database name....
Why am I getting this? I have set up WordPress on Ubuntu and Windows without any issue, but why does a Mac present a problem?
With wp_debug on, it states my password is wrong. I have tried logging into MySQL with the password given and the user name - it works... so that is clearly not wrong...
If you're using MAMP, make sure that the disk location of the virtual host is correctly configured. I.e., pointing to library/webserver/documents.
I'm trying to get a wordpress local install working on my Mac.
I've recently set up a database, username and password using the MySQL client as per the instructions in the wordpress codex. That part is ok.
When I go to the local site on my computer I'm prompted by wordpress to set up the wp-config.php file. Putting in the same details that definitely work with the MySQL client returns an error.
Manually updating these details in the 'wp-config-sample.php' file and renaming it as 'wp-config.php' also doesn't work - I'm now greeted with a big bold message: "Error establishing a database connection".
From what I can gather, php and mysql are not communicating with each other properly.
I've changed the apache 2 configuration file found in 'etc/apache2/httpd.conf' and uncommented the line which loads the php5 module: LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
and restarted the apache server. This has still not fixed my problem. I'm stuck on what to do next... help appreciated please!
It's been fixed now.
php was looking in the wrong place for the mysql.sock file, and couldn't communicate with the mysql database, meaning wordpress couldn't be set up.
On the command line I typed
ps aux | grep mysql
to bring up as much info about mysql that I could. From this I saw that the mysql socket on my computer is being used at /tmp/mysql.sock
Meanwhile, in the "wp-config.php" file, I changed the line define('WP_DEBUG', false); to define('WP_DEBUG', true); and refreshed my web browser that was showing my localhost setup. This now said a lot more info than "Error establishing a database connection" - infact I could see that the mysql.sock was not configured correctly at all.
Creating a 'phpinfo.php' file with just the single line of code <?php phpinfo(); ?> was the pivotal turning point for me.
Putting that 'phpinfo.php' file in my localhost directory and then viewing it from my web browser not only definitely confirmed that the mysql.sock file was not configured properly, but it also showed where the configurations were being loaded from on my machine: '/private/etc/php.ini'
The next thing I did was open up the 'php.ini' file in a text editor and doing a quick find and replace to update the correct location of mysql.sock.
Finally, a restart of the local apache server needed to be done to fully update all the new settings that I'd been fiddling about with.
sudo apachectl restart
Now everything works fine!
The Error-Message "Error establishing a database connection" indicates clearly, that the php-script can not establish the connection. This can have one of the following reasons:
Your host in the wp-config.php is not correct.
The mysql-server does not listen on that host
The user you set up in the mysql has no privileges to connect the way you are trying
The firewall blocks the access of the php-script to your mysql-host
Try to connect the database with the same settings of your wordpress using Sequel Pro (or any other GUI to connect a mysql database). If the connection works, the problem 2. and 3. isn't your problem.
Look in your firewall-log to make sure 4. is also not your problem.
If all problems are excluded (even 1. after a final check), try to run something like phpMyAdmin to connect your database, to make sure your php-installation has the needed drivers.
