I have installed nginx on Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Stretch and installed Wordpress
In the process I ran the following
sudo apt install mysql-server
sudo apt install php-mysql
I setup MariaDB and set up WordPress Database with
sudo mysql_secure_installation
sudo mysql -uroot -p
create database wordpress;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'redacted';
I have done some WordPress configuration, and wanted to backup my WordPress
I attempted to install phpmyadmin (sudo apt install phpmyadmin), but this keeps failing with error ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
There seems to be no option to enter the password for root@localhost
I have tried to interrogate MariaDB which shows:-
MariaDB [(none)]> status

So no phpmyadmin database seems to have been created.
Can anyone help me install phpmyadmin ?
Would manually creating database phpmyadmin help?
EDIT
Based on the answer by @Kramer this seemed to be a known problem with Debian (I thought Debian packages were meant to be checked).
I have now performed the following steps (file locations differed from suggested)
cd /usr/share/phpmyadmin/sql/
create database phpmyadmin;
mysql -u root -p < create_tables.sql
create database phpmyadmin;
grant all privileges on phpmyadmin.* to phpmyadmin@localhost identified by "redacted";
Grant USAGE ON mysql.* TO phpmyadmin@localhost;
GRANT SELECT ON mysql.db TO phpmyadmin@localhost;
GRANT SELECT (Host, Db, User, Table_name, Table_priv, Column_priv) ON mysql.tables_priv TO phpmyadmin@localhost;
GRANT SELECT (Host, User, Select_priv, Insert_priv, Update_priv, Delete_priv, Create_priv, Drop_priv, Reload_priv, Shutdown_priv, Process_priv, File_priv, Grant_priv, References_priv, Index_priv, Alter_priv, Show_db_priv, Super_priv, Create_tmp_table_priv, Lock_tables_priv, Execute_priv, Repl_slave_priv, Repl_client_priv) ON mysql.user TO phpmyadmin@localhost;
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON phpmyadmin.* TO phpmyadmin@localhost;
I configured nginx by adding the following to /etc/nginx/sites-available/default as per https://www.linuxbabe.com/linux-server/install-phpmyadmin-nginx-ubuntu-16-04
location /phpmyadmin {
root /usr/share/;
index index.php;
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(doc|sql|setup)/ {
deny all;
}
location ~ /phpmyadmin/(.+\.php)$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
}
}
Navigating to your-domain.com/phpmyadmin/ and logging in as phpmyadmin showed phpMyAdmin.
I thought success!, however on navigating to Databases I received the following errors:-
mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
It seems the earlier attempt had created/modified files in /etc/phpmyadmin/ which is trying to use the missing password (as per the installation log)
