I know this issue has been addressed before in other threads but so far none of their solutions worked. So I'm opening a new one...
I've used this Tutorial to setup a local wordpress page on my Mac (I'm running OS X Yosemite). But unfortunately every time I try to log into phpMyAdmin @ http://localhost/~usernam/phpmyadmin/index.php I get this error message: "(!) Cannot log in to the MySQL server "
Although if I log into mySQL through the terminal the same usernam/password work just fine.
I'm really not sure what's wrong and like a said I tried every solution suggested in any of the other threads with no success. Is there a way to troubleshoot via the terminal and print out what might be wrong so I could post it here?
Here is my config.inc.php
<?php
/*
* Generated configuration file
* Generated by: phpMyAdmin 4.4.7 setup script
* Date: Mon, 25 May 2015 05:28:33 +0000
*/
/* Servers configuration */
$i = 0;
/* Server: localhost [1] */
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'MYPASSWORD';
/* End of servers configuration */
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '5562b2e8dedaf8.08870882';
$cfg['DefaultLang'] = 'en';
$cfg['ServerDefault'] = 1;
$cfg['UploadDir'] = '';
$cfg['SaveDir'] = '';
?>
I've noticed, that when I change $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; to $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; I'm able to access the database but Wordpress ist still having trouble connecting...
