phpMyAdmin doesn't work anymore

[Mathew]

For some reason, my phpmyadmin isn't working for about a month. I thought it has something to to with an update. But it stil won't work.

I tried already some versions.

I installed it with ispconfig3 (and it updates with apt-get update..)

Error:

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

I searched google allot, but nothing found to fix my error.

Thanks in advance

You have to enter a password for the root mysql user, when you login to the database. If phpmyadmin does not ask for a username and password, then the wrong authentication method might be selected in the phpmyadmin configuration file.

Indeed.
auth_type in config/config.inc.php was set to config instead of cookie!

You're the best!
