PhPMyAdmin Login Problem

basil

Last night I was using PhPMyAdmin (PMA) to do some work on one of my MySQL databases. I'm not sure what happened; I had shut down MyPhPAdmin and later came back to it and now I can't log in. I used the correct user name and password for my database, but I just keep getting the login page back. The login page does say "Cookies Must Be Enabled Past This Point", which they are. I tried clearing my browser cache and cookies and even re-booting my computer, but I still can't get on using PMA. Has anyone elese had this problem - any ideas?

Thanks,
Basil

Maybe someone changed your password. Not the best thing to leave open.

Nope, that's not it. I tried logging in from work and it worked fine, but at home it will not work. I didn't change anything - one minute it was working and the next it was not. I have cleared my cache and deleted all my cookies in hopes that would cure the problem, but it did not.

Have you seeing if Apache is still running. because you will get an error.
Apache can close some time to time..

Try to write Http://localhost in browser and if there are an error.. You need to start Apache..

I am having the same problem, but it doesn't matter what computer I try to log in from. It always returns me to the login page without displaying any errors. My scripts can log into mySQL just fine with the same credentials I supplied on the login page.

EDIT: I realized I hadn't tried logging in to phpMyAdmin from the server itself. The server I'm having trouble with is really a desktop machine I use for a POS application. I opened Firefox on the machine and successfully logged into phpMyAdmin. Something is preventing me from logging in from other computers.

ANOTHER EDIT: The answer to my problem was so obvious I missed it. It's been my week for that. 🙂 My MySQL account no longer had priveledges from any host. It was restricted to the local machine only. Check your priveledges, basil.
