When I go on localhost/phpmyadmin it returns me this :

Cannot connect: invalid settings. phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

I had some issues with phpmyadmin before so I uninstalled it to reinstall it. But apparently it's worse now...

After a few search on the internet I saw that it could come from the file /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php. But I don't have the folder phpmyadmin in /etc and even not in xampp

Thank you for your help...

Instead of using xampp i would recommend to install the ApachePHPMySql thingy in ubuntu.

EDIT: The ubuntu phpmyadmin documentation is found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/phpmyadmin.html

  • Everybody is using Xampp why would that work everywhere else and not with me ? – Fab Jul 6 '16 at 12:40
  • Well i thought it is easier this way, plus you know how to set up your own server. Anyway, to your problem: I would recommend checking MySQL with the mysql client, see if the database, etc. for phpmyadmin exist and check if that matches your phpmyadmin config. – Lord_PedantenStein Jul 6 '16 at 21:49
