I have set up an Apache server on mandriva linux 2010.1. But the problem is whenever I’m trying to connect with the database, it’s giving me the following error:
Error:Database error: SQLSTATE[28000]
[1045] Access denied for user
‘root’@’myhostname’ (using password:
YES)
Normally for a web application, you shouldn’t connect to the database as
root. However you tagged your post as[phpmyadmin]so I assume your issue is with, well, phpMyAdmin, in which case you might be connecting as root.If this is the case, I see that you mentioned
myhostnamein your error message. Have you tried connecting tolocalhostinstead? Sometimes the MySQLrootuser cannot connect from remote hosts.
