[Phpmyadmin-devel] question (problems logging into phpMyAdmin)

[Paul Westmoreland]

Hello,

I'm new to using phpMyAdmin and am having trouble logging in. I'm wondering
if someone can help me.

I have successfully installed phpMyAdmin on my server (linux, has all the
requisite stuff needed to run everything) but i get this error:

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

(also this one: Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP
configuration.)

i tried the documented suggestion:

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

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = 'cbb74bc'; // use here your password
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']     = 'config'

by putting in my own password with root as the login and got same error.
also tried $cfg['Servers'][$i]['nopassword'] and generating a script using
phpMyAdmin/setup/ which also didn't allow login.

i created a "config" folder under phpMyAdmin and dropped the config.inc.php
into that, and also dropped it into /setup/frames/ with the various attempts
and that didn't work either

does anyone know how to fix?

thanks!
