No problem. Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback.

Thanks.

It sounds to me like you need to work on SQL syntax and get that correct before worrying about phpmyadmin. If you do not have users with the proper access to databases then phpmyadmin will not work properly. I would go back to the suggestion of adding a password for the root user and attempting to configure that within phpmyadmin making sure to only allow remote connections from specific address space. Also turn phpmyadmin from HTTP to HTTPS to make sure the passwords when logging in are sent ecrypted to the server for authorization.

Thanks.

I GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database A TO user A

i create user A at mysql
i create database A at mysql
i GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON circuitcity TO user A

then i log in to phpmyadmin as user A

and it says blowfish needed even tho i fixed the file as described above

it also says that i have no database privileges…

dont know what to do .

Thank you for your help

Have you read any documentation at all?

You should create a password for the root account(bad practice regardless to leave this blank) and then limit phpmyadmin to only work from specific IP addresses so it is at least a little bit secure. You should also make sure that it works over HTTPS so nobody can steal the password.

Thanks.

i created a new user to log in because i wasnt able to login as root

what do i enter to log in as root ? root account has no password …

Please see message above. It sounds like you should read more about how phpmyadmin works and understand the basics first.

Thanks.
alex

So you are able to login but you cannot create a new database? Are you using root as the username or did you create a new username specifically for this?

Thanks.
alex

PS. Please stop double posting. double posting.

for root i have no password but to log on to phpmyadmin it needs user and pass

i created a user at mysql ( dont know if i still have it working ) and i get the above error messages at phpmyadmin ..

can someone tell what to do exacly at mysql ? and why i still get blowfish secret error by the time i changed/added this ( renamed file to config.inc.php ) — >
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ‘{^QP+-(3mlHy+Gd~FE3mN{gIATs^1lX+T=KVYv{ubK*U0V’; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE AUTH! */

The additional features for working with linked tables have been deactivated. To find out why click here.
The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret).

What is the error regarding database rights? If you have an error regarding the database it should be fixed regardless before proceeding with anything else.

Thanks.
alex

Could you post the exact error regarding database rights? I would say that is probably where the initial problem is.

Thanks.
