phpMyAdmin 2.6.2 problem: can no connects to mySQL database: each time
shown error #1045 - Access denied for user 'username'@'192 .168.1.2'
(using password: YES)
Is seems, this is most common problem for mySOL and phpMyAdmin.
Extremelly ugly and inconvenient program.

Not at all if you have MySQL security set up properly and use the

Perhaps you could do better? I'm sure SourceForge would love another
project like this.

Why use it if you think it stinks?
Go find a better tool or write your own as Jerry suggested.
Personally I think it is very lame to complain about programs given to you
by serious programmers for free to do with as you like.
It is completely fine that you don't like them, but don't complain to us
about it. I know a lot of happy mySQL and phpmyadmin users.

But yes, it is a common problem, but it only happens to a certain kind of
user.
My bet is you are one of those 'too advanced programmers' that don't have
need to read the documentation, and want to 'point and click' the same way
you start up your outlook. Reading documentation is for dull and dusty
COBOL programmers, isn't it?

Go RTFM and all your problems will be solved.
And please don't insult the makers by calling their software ugly and

I can confirm that this mySql and phpMyAdmin is exceptionally
uncomfortable things.
Bad designed, bad documented. Plenty logic errors..
And what most worse thing, developers *do not know* how to correct an
issue.

>"Not at all if you have MySQL security set up properly and use the

Have you tried do this at shared virtual hosting, where you have no
*any* access to all this "config" files? Why user need to have headashe
about this senseless configuration settings? You will get headASHE and
can spend a weeks or even and month to solve this stupis security
issue. Why MySQL need have more security than FTP programs?( that works
just fine) Any ftp works wl

Plenty users can no access it own MySQL database installed even on it
own computer. Stupid system generate errors #1045 - Access denied. So
called 'securiy settings issue' is just paranoidal. Why not set access
to phpmyadmin/mySQL from ANY IPs by default?

Have you real ideas how to repair this 'error #1045 - Access denied for
user' remotely on virtual host? I doubt that you have any idea.

And exactly how is it "badly designed"? And what are the "plenty logic

I've always found them to be quite good at fixing bugs, for instance.

Sure I have. Many times. Quite easy to do, as a matter of fact. You
have total access to PhpMyAdmin's config files.

And yes, MySQL has more security than ftp access. Every decent RDB
does. Typically data in a database is much more important than the
contents of files. Files can be easily replaced; databases not so much.
Also, files don't normally contain userid's, passwords, credit card
numbers, and other personal information. Databases do.

Plenty users can no access it own MySQL database installed even on it
own computer. Stupid system generate errors #1045 - Access denied. So
called 'securiy settings issue' is just paranoidal. Why not set access
to phpmyadmin/mySQL from ANY IPs by default?

They can if they set it up correctly. Maybe they need to read the
instructions. Every such error I've ever seen in the MySQL newsgroups
can be traced back to something documented in the manual.

And BTW, this has nothing to do with phpMyAdmin.

Have you real ideas how to repair this 'error #1045 - Access denied for
user' remotely on virtual host? I doubt that you have any idea.
>

Sure. Set up the security properly. It works great. I've done it for
both local and remote hosts.

But this is not a PHP problem; nor is is a phpMyAdmin problem.

Read the instructions, set up MySQL security properly and you will be
able to access it. It's that simple.

Of course, you also need to ensure that if you're accessing MySQL from a
remote machine that MySQL networking is enabled, also.

Have read user complaints for this defect:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...ss-denied.html

No one know about this permanents defects and bugs, its not possible to
adjust this at all. Only at random, this may help, may not help. I dont
work at random. Very inconvenient software, the only one plus its GPL,
free. But this just an example that not all GPL software is good. Its
not possible configure it remotely on virtual hosting , since i can no
connects to this phpMyAdmin.

Did you actually read this page? These are not user complaints. This
is generated by the MySQL team to help people who don't read the
directions set it up properly. Every one of these is caused by MySQL
not being set up properly. And every one of them has a solution
associated with it.

Excellent work by the MySQL team, IMHO. They have the user in mind.

And I don't know why you can't connect. I have several MySQL systems I
manage remotely. It works quite well. So do may other webmasters I know.

And I agree MySQL is not good software. It is EXCELLENT SOFTWARE. But
it is a very versatile RDB, and you need to set it up properly to get it
to work.

But you don't like it. Fine. Spend the big bucks and get MSSQL, Oracle
or DB2. Or write your own to suit your needs.

But don't come here and complain how bad it is. You will get no
sympathy from most of the users here. We know better.

Then when you lease space on a database server, the admin of that
company is supposed to set up your access. If you don't have access
to what you are paying for, complain. Often hosting companies insist
that you access the database from the web server that also comes with
the service, and nowhere else. If this is the case, they need to
explain how to access the database, and perhaps fix their setup.

It may well be that the hosting company insists that you access the
database only from the web server in the account, that's policy,
and there's not a thing you can do about it besides change hosts.

Security on FTP does *NOT* "work just fine". Some versions of
FTP don't even have the ability to set up a "read only" account.

Databases tend to have more sensitive information in them than
files: passwords, credit card numbers, financial data, private
medical information, etc. And it just doesn't make sense to have
a databbase with direct read/write access open to the world.

Windows seems to come set with wide open access for everyone and
the result is armies of zombies being used to attack other systems.
It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you. And there are
systems out there port-scanning for MySQL servers.

You (the server admin) can set up a username/password to access
from any IP if you want to. The default, a very correct one IMHO,
is *NO* access over the net. Does having a default username/password
make any sense to you in this situation? I hope not. You (or the
admin of the server) need to set up access individually.

>Have you real ideas how to repair this 'error #1045 - Access denied for
>user' remotely on virtual host? I doubt that you have any idea.

The idea behind security is that you are not able to "fix" lack of
access from the outside. You have to be given access by the
administrators of that system. Call the tech support of your hosting
company.

If it's your own server, you need to use the GRANT command (probably run
from the server machine itself) to grant the access required to something
on another machine. You may decide whether or not to lock down the
access by IP address or not.

In order to use a MySQL connection (as a client), you need 4 pieces
of data: the username, password (might be "none", but this is NOT
a good idea), server hostname (might be "localhost" ), and database
name. You also have to try to make the connection from a host
that's allowed to connect. This isn't much more complicated than
non-anonymous FTP, where you need a username, password, hostname,
and directory name. If you're having trouble plugging that info
into whatever client you are using (command-line client, PHP,
whatever) you need to read the documentation. If you don't *KNOW*
what this information is, you need to contact the server administrator
(or your host's tech support).

Re: Can no connects to mySQL database

I am just a newbe at this though, but I came across this error as well.
I use IIS on windows 2000 locally for testing website baker. I'm really
impressed with this simple to use cms system. Anyway, at first I didn't
RTFM either, or just skimmed through it :) I got bitten by the #1045
error no matter what I changed in the config.inc.php file located in
the config folder. I copied the config.default. php to this folder but
didn't work (after renaming it to config.inc.php of course). The
solution was so simple, if I had just read a little further in the
manual. Just move it to the phpMyAdmin root folder. Logging in worked
like a charm.
If that doesn't help, check if you can log into mysql console in a
dosbox:

mysql -u root -p

If you can, use those credentials to get into phpMyAdmin (edit the
config.inc.php, auth_type to cookie).

I agree with you that most open source software won't win any user
friendliness contests. But that's my own ignorance and lack of
knowledge. It's getting better and better over time though.
