    The easiest answer is to clear your cache, close all browsers and then give it another try from the start. Also be sure you're not logging into a normal cPanel account as root or reseller.

    If that doesn't work, then it's likely your account's MySQL password has gotten out of sync with your cPanel account password. Under normal circumstances those passwords are the same, however, the way that phpMyAdmin was loaded in previous versions (cPanel versions before 11.28) it would ensure that the password was synced before loading the application. In 11.28 we removed that auto-syncing functionality and added the login form. In this way, if you're MySQL password is different for a reason, we don't overwrite it, and you can still log into phpMyAdmin.

    If you can put your cPanel username and password into the phpMyAdmin login form and successfully authenticate, then the problem is most certainly just cache related, as InfoPro suggests. This will be the case most of the time.

    But its a way to avoid this or every time you log to phpmyadmin will ask you the username/password?

    I could log in typing the database username and password.

    If the cPanel user password and MySQL password are not the same, you can try resetting the account password using Main >> Account Functions >> Password Modification. This function will attempt to reset the cPanel user password for the system and MySQL. This should result in the system password and MySQL password again being in sync, preventing the phpMyAdmin log-in page.

    If you are able to log into phpMyAdmin using the existing cPanel username and password, then clearing the browser cache should help. If it does not, please submit a ticket so that we may investigate the problem directly on your server and offer more specific advice.

    I've never set a different password for MySQL than for my (own personal) cPanel account, and even after the upgrade to 11.28 on what used to be known as the RELEASE tree, I could always automatically go to PHPMyAdmin from within cPanel. With last night's upgrade to 11.28.87 this is changed.

    My cPanel username and password are not working in the PHPMyAdmin login form.

    EDIT: And as for the annoying "stock suggestion" of clearing your browser cache... #1, I have cache disabled in my main browser, and #2 I also tried logging in from a browser I have never accessed cPanel from. Same login problem.

    And yes, I'm logged in as the user, not root.

    EDIT: Changing the cPanel password, then changing it back, worked. Of course by now I've forgotten why I was trying to login to PHPMyAdmin in the first place...

    Can I ask - under what circumstance would the user's mysql password be different from the cpanel password? I'm not aware of any option they may have of changing it.

    This used to be a manual operation performed by a system admin. Typically this was/is for users who use their main cPanel account for the MySQL access credentials when configuring something like wordpress. Making the passwords distinct prevented an exploit in something like wordpress from giving the perp access to the cPanel account.

    I used WHM's transfer to transfer 2 sites and ran into the phpMyAdmin login problem. Changing the cPanel password worked for both.

    However... I'm also receiving the login form when I try to access phpMyAdmin from WHM. Tried changing the root password and that didn't do it. How would I go about getting rid of the login form from WHM?

    Hello ckh,

    Could you try running the following script to see the results:

    Code:
    /usr/local/cpanel/bin/updatephpmyadmin --force
    If this does not work, please see if you can even get into MySQL command line:

    Code:
    mysql
mysqladmin proc
    If both return an error about root@localhost, please post the error message. This would indicate an issue with MySQL functioning properly for the root user to connect with the /root/.my.cnf password set (please do not change the root password manually in the /root/.my.cnf file at any time, since this does not change it in MySQL itself).

    Thanks!

    Odd, I had already ran that and it didn't have any affect. Tried it today and it all seems well now. Thanks!
