I have used the TuxLite scripts to setup my Ubuntu 14.04 server. All has been working fine for weeks until now.
I can not log in to phpMyAdmin with the root user. However other users previously created can still access their databases. However I can log in to MariaDB using the root user from the command line.
I’m not sure what I have done to cause this, or whether something changed when I ran my weekly apt-get update/upgrade.
Does anyone have any possible solutions to my problem?
