Cpanel User/pass Not Allowing Phpmyadmin Access

[rick02840]

I had this problem and think I know fix so thought I would post here.

 

In the past, to backup I login to CPanel, click phpMyAdmin, and get logged right into that - - then take a DB dump (I do not trust only having a CPanel DB dump).

 

That has not been working lately and phpMyAdmin asks for a user/pass (the DB user/pass, not CPanel)

 

It turns out that whatever new version of phpMyAdmin is using now does not like CPanel passwords previously generated by CPanel due to special characters.

 

I changed CPanel password using a new CPanel generated password and phpMyAdmin likes it OK now. I only tried this so far on one site, but assuming this works for all.

 

Thought people would want to know.

 

While here, if anyone has latest-greatest way to auto backup mysql db (and perhaps files) to another remote location, please let me know. My manual backups to local are tedious.

 

Thanks,

 

Rick
