Topic: phpmyadmin install

[James Shields]

Recently installed dmc-mitel-phpmyadmin-2.2.1-0.noarch.rpm
Everything appeared to install OK, but getting error on accessing using following address: https://www.shields.net.au/phpmyadmin/

This lets me connect using "admin" & "admin password", but gives this message:

Error
MySQL said:
MySQL Connection Failed: Host 'tintagel.shields.net.au' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

Can anybody offer me assistance with this problem. Much appreciated.

Hello James,

MySQL must have your host in the users database. It seems that the RPM doesn't set this information to MySQL. On every linux platform or if I get a new PC, I set this manually:

log in as root!

INSERT INTO db VALUES ( 'youservername_or_ip', '%', 'theuser', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y');

INSERT INTO user VALUES ( 'youservername_or_ip', 'theuser', password('thepasswd'), 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y');

in homedir of phpMyAdmin edit config.inc.php and insert theuser, thepasswd and youservername_or_ip

$cfgServers[1]['host']          = 'youservername_or_ip'; // MySQL hostname
$cfgServers[1]['port']          = '';          // MySQL port - leave blank for default port
$cfgServers[1]['socket']        = '';          // Path to the socket - leave blank for default socket
$cfgServers[1]['connect_type']  = 'tcp';       // How to connect to MySQL server ('tcp' or 'socket')
$cfgServers[1]['adv_auth']      = FALSE;       // Use advanced authentication?
$cfgServers[1]['stduser']       = '';          // MySQL standard user (only needed with advanced auth)
$cfgServers[1]['stdpass']       = '';          // MySQL standard password (only needed with advanced auth)
$cfgServers[1]['user']          = 'theuser';      // MySQL user (only needed with basic auth)
$cfgServers[1]['password']      = 'thepasswd';          // MySQL password (only needed with basic auth)
$cfgServers[1]['only_db']       = '';          // If set to a db-name, only this db is accessible

Don't forget to restart the mysqld with mysqladmin reload

That works on normal Linuxes. I have to try it on SME.

Bye,

This seems like a real long way around getting this to work. Somebody surely must have used the rpm from Darrell.

Any help would be appreciated.
