phpmyAdmin and MySQL Server

This happened to me, when I installed mysql-server then install phpmyadmin, I face this problem when accessing the address localhost/phpmyadmin: "mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1698): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'" and "#1698 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'"

this happened because the new configuration of mysql-server and phpmyadmin, for security reason, do not allow root user to access remotely by default.

try this steps:

1. configure the mysql-server, add a new user "pma" (phpMyAdmin) or "pmauser"
1. login to your mysql console using terminal:
   mysql -u root -p
2. insert your root password
3. execute this commmand, change the 'yourpassword' to preferred one:
   Create user 'pmauser'@'%' identified by 'yourpassword';
4. make sure that your new user had been created:
   select host, user, authentication_string from mysql.user;
5. grant privilege to your new user, be aware that this command grants pmauser as superuser as root have: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'pmauser'@'%';



2. configure the phpmyadmin config to use the created user
1. go to /etc/phpmyadmin
1. cd /etc/phpmyadmin
2. edit the config-db.php file
1. sudo gedit config-db.php
2. edit the user (pma/pmauser) and password as we created before
3. save the file



3. refresh the page and login

PHPMyAdmin: Cannot start session without errors

sometimes we found this error when logging into PHP MyAdmin:
"Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly."


this because the sessions folder has been removed or restricted, do this steps:
1. check whether the folder /var/lib/php/sessions exists
2. if exists, then you need to run sudo chmod 0777 /var/lib/php/sessions from terminal
3. if the folder doesn't exist, then you need to create the folder manually:
    - cd /var/lib
    - sudo mkdir php
    - sudo chmod 0777 php
    - sudo mkdir sessions
    - sudo chmod 0777 sessions


then try to login via PHP MyAdmin again
