xampp phpmyadmin access denied error(#2002)

Hi everyone i had mysql server running on 3306. I uninstalled that completely and installed XAMPP. Mysql was not running at the beginning, then I changed the port to 3307 in my.ini as well as configuration of CP. It is showing status as running now but phpmyadmin is giving error as access denied. I tried so many solutions but didnt help. Someone please help me. Thanks in advance.

Solution

Try this.

Go to the directory where Xampp is installed. Lets call it xampp. Now open the file xampp/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php in any text editor.

Now find this line

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';

and change it to

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost:3307';

Note: If you are on Windows, xampp is by default installed in C:\xampp
