Question
How do I install phpMyAdmin on Wordpress One-Click deploy droplet (Ubuntu)
I’m trying to setup phpMyAdmin on my WordPress droplet that was setup with the standard One-Click deploy so that I can have greater control over the content.
I’ve followed the guide here but I am stuck on the actual installation of phpMyAdmin when it comes time to enter the database administrator password.
*ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘root’@'localhost’ (using password: YES) *
The issue being, the system doesn’t appear to HAVE a password for root. I am able to login to mysql with the following:
$ mysql -u root
Which to me indicates that there is no password. SO what do I enter during this setup process? It seems such a basic and silly thing to be stuck on, so I’d appreciate any help you can offer!
Thanks.
