Modify the file ‘config.inc.php’ in your phpMyAdmin directory with the necessary database username/password that you have in your ‘wp-config.php’ file.

Just entering the username and password should be enough. Now when you go to http://yourdomain.com/phpMyAdmin (or wherever you installed it), you will see a nice graphical program. From the drop down menu, choose your WordPress database. You can gather the name from ‘wp-config.php’ again.

Now, click on the ‘wp-options’ link in the left menu. From there, in the right window click on “Browse” to show you all the information stored in the ‘wp-options’ table. You should now to go the second page using the > button and look for ‘blog_charset’ optionname. Once you find the entry, “Edit” it, make the necessary changes and “Save” at the bottom of the page.

Hope that gets you going.

That’s strange, I see the problem on FF 1.0.4, Konqueror and Opera under Linux.

You should essentially copy over the Username, Password, Hostname into your ‘config.inc.php’. The error message seems to indicate you didn’t provide a password for phpMyAdmin to login to the database.

You wanna be editing the following three lines:

On my version of the file (2.6.1-pl3)
$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘host’] – Line 69
$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘user’] – Line 84
$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘password’] – Line 85

I removed the last entry from my phpMyAdmin configuration and got the same error message as you. So that is most likely the culprit.

You can leave virtually everything else in the file unchanged.
