Newbie Question

Thank you for the Windows install.

I have install the Mantis stack and it seems to work as described.

On the Welcome page is states:
You can access the built-in management tool phpMyAdmin <here>. For security reasons it is password protected and only accessible when using 127.0.0.1 as the hostname.

So I click <here> and it takes me to a login screen.

I type in the username and password I was asked for in the install and nothing, doesn’t work.

Where do I find/setup the password for phpMyAdmin.
Where do I find in the doc on how to install/change the password for same ??

Thank you

Hi,

The default user for the phpMyAdmin application is “administrator” and the password is the same that you typed during the installation. You can change the user/password with the “htpasswd” tool:

$ <installation_directory>/apache2/bin/htpasswd -cb “<installation_directory>/apache2/users” administrator new_password

You can find more information in this post

I hope it helps.

Please be kind to a windows user.

What is this ??
Where do I type this in on a windows system ??

$ <installation_directory>/apache2/bin/htpasswd -cb “<installation_directory>/apache2/users” administrator new_password

Hi,

Start Menu -> Run -> Write ‘cmd.exe’

You will be facing the command line. Now, you can type the command substituting appropriately <installation_directory> for the path of your installation.

Cheers

Hi,

If you want to change the user/password for phpMyAdmin it is necessary to type this command in the Windows command prompt. You can open a command window from Start -> Execute -> cmd

Then you can type a similar command to this:

"C:/Program Files/BitNami Mantis Stack/apache2/bin/htpasswd" -cb “C:\Program Files\BitNami Mantis Stack/apache2/users” administrator new_password

You should replace the default installation directory with your installation folder.
