After removing users from phpMyAdmin I can no long get to our WordPress Site

    Recently my company started building some sites using WordPress. Since this was my first foray into using WAMP I decided to do some reading and setting up some basic security.

    Today our developers announced that our test website was ready to be seen and I started looking at it. I also took the time to go remove some users from phpMyAdmin. I removed the ‘Any’ statements, and change one of the root users from logging in using 127.0.0.1 to my companies external IP address. I also added a long password to the root account to help keep unauthorized people out.

    Since doing that I can no long get into my WordPress site or my phpMyAdmin. Going to the WordPress site I am presented with a error of,

    “Error establishing a database connection”.

    While phpMyAdmin is presenting an error of,

    “Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in D:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin4.0.4\libraries\php-gettext\gettext.inc on line 177”.

    Web servers are definitely not my strong suite and I was hoping to get some help from the community

    Login in to your cpanel and associate a user with your database with full privilages . Then with that user login to phpmyadmin and then undo your changes there . After that optimize your tables . Then it should be fine .
