MySQL PHP Woes
by Areba Collins 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Ive never encountered this, and my box has been faithfully running DNS, Samba and LAMP server for two years non stop. Was using sugar CRM and administering using phpmyadmin. Im running Ubuntu 8.0.4 Here is my dilemma: suddenly, I cant log into mysql from phpmyadmin with any user. I can log in from the terminal and create a superadmin user and grant permissions but when i try logging via phpmyadmin, hamna kitu I cant log into any instance of my local script (sugar) , with any of the users. I dont get errors except the occassional ¨you have to enable cookies beyond here¨ on phpmyadmin. Anyone with any idea where to begin? strangely, webmin tool can access the db ok.
