This is the elaborate message being displayed

"phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server."

I found some links to edit the config.inc.php file under /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin and edit the 

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'root';

as my password for root user is simply 'root' but still the same error persists. I really need help upon this thing. error message screenshot

  • I had tried that already and of no use. There is one thing I noticed is that even after I start my lamp server and type localhost/ in the browser it does not open. I have to type localhost:8080/ only then it opens. I dont know why is this so but just provided the info if it is helpful for someone to help me out with. – md5 Oct 27 '16 at 15:32

Seems your config ist pointing to the wrong server or the port might be wrong.

Try setting the 

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] ='hostname_of_database:port';

variable with the hostname and port of your mysql database.
