How to setup database creation in phpMyAdmin on Debian

Posted on January 21, 2014

Hi!

I set up my server and phpMyAdmin according to the tutorials, and everything seems to work fine. However, after logging into pma I don’t have the privileges to create a new database. What else should be setup?

Does the user have permissions to do so?

After all I remembered that I have the same “root” user for pma as for the server just with a different password. That solved it :) (Haven’t used the server for a long time.)

Seems like no, but I don’t know where to set that up. <br> <br>I used this tutorial for installing pma: <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-debian-7 <br> <br>And I logged in with the user generated by “sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin”
