I use PHP/MySQL in Ubuntu 13.
To reduce the size of ibdata1, i followed this post https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/8982/what-is-the-best-way-to-reduce-the-size-of-ibdata-in-mysql and make necessary changes as told in the answer.
I did set a password for phpmyadmin when I installed it. Now after restarting mysql, and when I try to login into phpmyadmin with my password, an error is thrown out.
#2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
Can anyone please tell me, where I went wrong. I followed the steps correctly and I am sure about that. I just wanna login into phpmyadmin. Tell me how can i reset my password?
