PhpMyAdmin security warning for configuration files


Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole by setting a password for user 'root'.

I got this when I opened up phpmyadmin ...

Any way to fix this?


Solution

  • It's just a warning to show that there is no password for the default user root. If you want to set password for root:

    1. Open phpmyadmin interface
    2. Click "Users" tab
    3. Select user "root"
    4. Edit Privileges
    5. Change password
