/* Optional: Advanced phpMyAdmin features */
$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘pmadb’] = $dbname;

/etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php

 

$dbuser=’phpmyadmin’;
$dbpass=’pass’;
$basepath=”;
$dbname=’phpmyadmin’;
$dbserver=’localhost’;
$dbport=’3306′;
$dbtype=’mysql’;

 

mysql> CREATE USER ‘phpmyadmin’@’%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘pass’ ;

mysql> CREATE USER ‘p’@’%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘MyPasswordHere!
