You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server.

Hi all

I am unable to access my database in WAMP server.
The error is coming as follows
"You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server".

Please help me out

Wow! This is an old post! Hmmm... I wonder why nobody even tried to answer it... Oh well, I guess I'll give it a shot: after all, that's what forums are for, right?



Without taking the "reinstall it all" approach, I would first see what your passwords are set to because I'm currently running into the same issue (more so or less). I noticed that when trying to secure the login on my shared box, the changing of the passwords wound up causing some issues of consistency within phpMyAdmin versus that of the other misc. pertinent files for MySQL within WAMP. Why this happens, who knows, but I'm pretty sure this is most likely the culprit as I doubt any other beings of unknown substance exist on these boards to call me wrong.

Sucks having to deal with propagation delay, right?

also is good to know that you can change your password from here

http://localhost/security/xamppsecurity.php

that's how I changed mine after messing it up into phpmyadmin and being unable to reconnect due to different pass.

(this do not change the name of the root admin too).

This can also happen if you set password for mysql, Then phpmyadmin don't have access to your database. You can fix this if you go to the wamp directory, then go to 'apps' folder there you'll see another folder 'phpmyadmin', in this folder find config.inc.php file and open it, there should be a line where you can set you password for your database($cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '', in there just type your mysql pass.
And then it should work. It can also happen you don't have premission to change that config.inc.php file, that is becasue by default only system has full premission to that file, on windows you just click the right button and go to the propreties
and on security tab change premissions(so you can write to that file) for administrator if you logged as one, or for user if you logged as user.
