myphpadmin password

[GLDMadMax]

Hi

I need some help here, i need to know what the password is, and how to change it on the server...it would be nice if you had a simple script to change it like xampp do.

 

I need to know how to do this asap, as i need to run a php tracker...as each time the thing runs it refuses to connect to the database no doubt because its asking for the user name, of which as i said i dont know what it is.

The username for mysql is root and so is the password.

 

The new Admin Panel will have this.... (i will make sure to add it)

 

Thanks....

until then, how can I change the username and password for phpmyadmin so that nobody else can get to it?

[olajideolaolorun]

phpMyAdmin is located in the admin panel which is protected. Unless you allowed access to the Admin Panel then it is not protected, but for now it is.

 

Reply back with further details, i am also kinda confused cause it is defaultly blocked from all except localhost.

as long as it's defaultly blocked from all but localhost, that's fine. I thought that since it had no password, anyone who knew the path could get to it. Thanks for clarifying

phpMyAdmin is protected under the Admin Panel. MySQL has a default username and password but the password has to be chnaged when mving to a production use of the server.

 

To change the mysql password edit the file mysql_password in the /home/admin/www/ folder.
