You should look at using the "Cookie" auth type in phpmyadmin. Your mysql setup is fine, you need a root user, you just don't want phpmyadmin logging in as that user all the time. <http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/> That link will tell you how to change your config file and create what they call a control user with control username and password. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 http://www.newgeo.com Fax: 313.557.5052 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novato, CA U.S.A. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
