Hi,
I have just installed XAMPP, and set a password for the MYSQL root user. If I type in "mysql -u root -p" in the cmd prompt, I am prompted for the password (expected behaviour).
However, when I navigate to localhost/phpmyadmin, I am not prompted to enter the password and I am able to add dbs/tables etc without any prompt for a password. My phpconfig file is as follows:
/* Authentication type and info */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'lwdonmyD';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = false;
Does anyone have any ideas what I need to do? I tried changing "AllowNoPasswordRoot" to true but that didn't make a difference. I am not even sure what that field is for..
Many thanks in advance,
Leah
