phpMyAdmin / MariaDB Access Denied Error
When trying to login to phpMyAdmin to access MariaDB, if you get an error message that says:
Access denied for user 'yourusername_admin'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Please follow the steps below to resolve the issue:
- Login at heliohost.org/login
- Continue to Plesk
- Click on 'Databases'
- Click on 'User Management' (see the screenshot below)
- Click on the username mentioned in the phpMyAdmin error message
- Copy/paste a strong password into the password fields
- Double-check the permissions assigned to your database user by clicking on the 'Show privileges' link and adjust them if needed
- Click on the 'OK' button to save the changes
Keep in mind if you change your password or your database user, you will need to update the config files of any applicable software.
For instance, if you're using WordPress (which we don't recommend), you'll need to make sure that the database password in the 'wp-config.php' file matches the password you enter into Plesk.
