#1045 - Access denied for user (using password: On Shared hosting, the database username cannot be changed without the cPanel username in it. I tried commenting out $cfg, and $cfg googletorp suggested - that perhaps it would present me with a login screen. I've seen login screens as googletorp suggested when i used pmas auto-installed by hosts but never on the out-of-the-box versions i've installed. Optimally I want him to be able to go to phpmyadmin UI, but only have the abilities allowed (in this case read-only).ĭo I need to set up a separate phpmyadmin where the controlling user is this weaker user?

IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD 'hash_string' syntax for CREATE USER and GRANT. Managing user privileges in cPanel for MySQL databases. If I want to access all other databases I need to GRANT Privileges for the root user. phpMyAdmin is an opensource application used for MySQL administration. But I have nearly 25 databases created with root user. Now if I log in with another user I am able to access only one database. Not even a single privilege is having for that user. Instead, establish such properties at account-creation time with CREATE USER or modify them afterward with ALTER USER. By mistake, I changed all the privileges of user root in my MySQL Database.
