phpMyAdmin.

[Kadrus]

Alright I installed PHPMyAdmin through these commands

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql


sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

and I edited the ";extension=mysql.so" part

When I open http://localhost/phpmyadmin

With what do I login?
Any help will be appreciated

Try root with no password - I think that is the default. A not-very-secure one, I might add.

try 'root' with no password. Just remember to change it.

Euuh..I am getting "#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)"
What to do?

Have you tried using the password you set for the mysql root user? (Do you remember the one you set when mysql was installed?)

If you must reset the root password:

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql reset-password

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql reset-password

When I do this I get
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

You need to start it beforehand:

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

Strange that it is not started automatically though.
