$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'user_name/root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'passwaord';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'user_name/root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'password';
Vervang elke bovenstaande verklaring door de corresponderende vermelding hieronder:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'xxxx';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'xxxx';
Hierdoor werkten localhost/phpmyadmin in de browser en de MySQL-opdrachtprompt correct.
