Topic: MySQL Connection Failed

[alex]

hallo,

can anyone help me with following error?

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /home/e-smith/files/primary/html/phpadmin/lib.inc.php3 on line 281

what parameter do i have to customize?
i already patched the system with the e-smith-base-4.4.0-26.noarch.rpm bugfix!

thanx!

You need to specify the MySQL root password.  Search here for mysql password; it's only been discussed about a zillion times.

sorry.....i did it with:
mysqladmin -u root password newpassword

is this incorrect?

[Dan Brown]

Yes, that's incorrect.  You don't need to change the root password (which is what you just did), you need to tell phpadmin what it is.  Read the phpadmin docs to see what to change.
