Description:
I have just reset my HP 15 notebook and it came with a built in windows 10 OS. I installed xampp and tried to access the phpmyadmin interface but I get the error below.
Error
MySQL said:
Cannot connect: invalid settings.
mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1130): Host 'localhost' is not allowed to connect to this MariaDB server
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1130): Host 'localhost' is not allowed to connect to this MariaDB server
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.
