phpMyAdmin asking for server password

drumdogg · 11 Apr 2013 at 12:37

Hi Guys,

When I hit the link to connect to phpMyAdmin on my PC (Client) it asks for the server username and password that it is install on before i get to the login screen.

Is there a way that i can stop it asking for the server password??

Is there something i need to change in the config.ini file possibly??

Thanks

Hi doiks14,

It is phpMyAdmin asking for the password of the web server.

A login box appears saying connecting to 192.168.X.X (Which is my web server)
Once i type in the password of the login to the server to proceeds to the phpMyAdmin login screen.

Will try and post a screen shot later on.

Cheers

Judging by this quote it could be http directory login that it's asking for not phpmyadmin. Remake a folder in root and put a new install of phpmyadmin inside there and try again, get a screenshot.

Still same issue when installed new version.

Here is the issue i am having - http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=o94gtz&s=6

Looks like it's running Microsoft IIS by the looks of the login popup (unless IE is really weird). Do you have access to the server? I'm assuming you do as it's a local network address.

If so, check IIS settings, make sure you allow access to anonymous users.

Yea it is IIS 6 on an old 2003 Server i am using. The only settings under IIS that i can change to do with phpMyAdmin is under Application Pool. phpMyAdmin is added to the Application Pool, is this the correct way to set it up??

In properties under the 'identity' tab i have set it to use a username and passsword of the server but this still doesnt work for me.

I have allowed anonymous access to phpMyAdmin but it is still asking for a password

Can I ask if it's a live server or is it something you are playing with ?

Its a live server within the company which runs an internal site that i created for them.

Server wasnt used that much so i use it for web development now.
