FAQ 4.4

From PmaWiki

[edit] phpMyAdmin always gives "Access denied" when using HTTP authentication.

This could happen for several reasons:

• $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] and/or $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] are wrong.
• The username/password you specify in the login-dialog are invalid. You have to give username/password of the database user.
• You have already setup a security mechanism for the phpMyAdmin-directory, e.g. a .htaccess file. This would interfere with phpMyAdmin's authentication, so remove it.
