phpmyadmin asking for login info??

[steel rat]

Any idea why phpmyadmin would be asking for an id and password when connecting from cpanel? Never had this happen on the old reseller account I used to have. But on my dedicated server it's happening on every domain I try to setup.

Please be specific with any advice, I'm new to linux.

Thanks!

Any ideas out there? It's really driving me nuts.

I've got a question, why are you buying a dedicated box if you dont know what your doing. I know someone who was managing the old box i used to, i told him to delete my files (rm -rf /home/r00t/public_html) and then a few minutes later he said "google said that rm means delete". Its those sort of people that should not be buying servers. For some people its just "$50 more dollars and i can get a dedicated server", it should be like "when i get EXPERIENCE and the extra $50 i will get a dedicated server". Try upcp --force ing.

if upcp--force dont work try resetting the mysql root password or if you have'nt set one set one

that seems to fix it most of the time

This really doesn't help my situation. And the reason is because I was tired of going from host to host with totally crap support. The last one had all my domains down for days on end with their purported "unrivaled support". That's why. I can learn, and that's what I'm trying to do. I've bought a bunch of books to help, but it takes time. We all start somewhere, right?

Thanks Fusion. I did set a MySQL root password when I originally started having the problem.

What is upcp? I don't see it in the indices of any of the books I bought (Linux/Apache books). Is it unique to Cpanel?

Thanks

FYI, this problem was corrected this morning by CPanel support. I still need to find out what they did, and will post here once I have that.

Well, Cpanel support said they didn't change anything, that it was working when they logged in. I don't like things that fix for no apparent reason. It means they could just as easily break again for no apparent reason. Upcp hadn't run yet either, so that couldn't have been it...

Oh well.
