Access denied for user (phpMyAdmin)

  • MySQL said: Cannot connect: invalid settings.

     mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO)

     phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

  • There are several possible causes of this: your MySQL installation has a root password, root login without password is disabled, root account is restricted or even disabled, etc.

    Whatever the cause, it’s not coming from WordPress as you can’t even get phpMyAdmin to run.

    Google the problem, or consult the documentation and/support of the local server stack (XAMPP, WAMP, MAMP, EasyApache, etc) that you’re using.

    Good luck!
