Topic: phpMyAdmin 2.8.0.1 password problem

[billporta]

Hello,

I'm unable to log in past the "Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.8.0.1" screen.  Can I change this somewhere?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Bill,

  Did you install this from an rpm?  If so the username and password are the same as the server-manager.  You probably knew that.

  Have you tried rpm-e name_of.rpm and the reinstalling it?

  That may very well fix the problem.

Jay,

Thanks for your fast response.  I think I installed it from the web interface.

The server-manager password does not get me in.

How do I install an rpm?

Bill

P.S  I just uninstalled the php software and the system gives me an php syntax error and won't boot - how do I recover?

[jfarschman]

Bill,

  Not a good day huh?

  First... fixing php.  You say you uninstalled it.  How... through the GUI.  And now the system no longer boots up?  Is that correct?  You may want to post another cry for help... because I'm wrapping up for the day and need to leave my work life behind tonight.  Someone else well probably help... but post another topic about what you've done.

  Second... install an rpm from the command line with the command rpm -Uhv name_of.rpm

Your post is off-topic for this forum. phpMyAdmin is not part of SME server 7.0. Please post your question to the contribs forum.

My apologies - I am new to this.

I just wasted an hour trying to log in to phpmyadmin on a new system.  Apparently the LocalNetworksOnly php setting is still in the secure mode, but that was only half the battle.

While I appreciate the efforts of those who adapt things for SME, it would be very helpful if they documented their changes.

Despite Charlie's post, it is very relevant to SME that the SME contribs rpm which I ran as 'root' managed to create a phpmyadmin account  for 'admin'

That is NOT something you can learn at the phpMyAdmin site

The phpmyadmin docs instruct you to change config.inc.php, but I believe that is not relevant for SME

SO, I'm adding this post for anyone who searches phpmyadmin password!!

Still to be determined, how to add a user to phpmyadmin , but that's for another week!

Yep, that's very on-topic - for the *Contribs* forum.

you're right, Charlie!   the quirk of using admin as default phpMyAdmin user instead of root or pma  isn't an SME core  issue, it is in the contrib.

the learning curve to version 7 from version 6 is pretty steep, and sadly until you know the source of the problem, the templates and non CentOS features of SME all seem to blur together.

I was thinking that the phpMyAdmin login account was related to the defaults in php which IS part of SME

Why don't you just move this topic to the contribs forum

[mike_mattos]

I suspect  that only the forum administrators can do that, would be nice if there was a way for readers to flag topics though.
