phpMyAdmin always gives "Access denied" when using http
authentication.
This could happen for several reasons:
* $cfgServers[n]['stduser'] and/or $cfgServers[n]['stdpass'] are
wrong.
* $cfgServers[n]['controluser'] and/or $cfgServers[n]['controlpass']
are wrong.
* The username/password you specify in the login-dialog are invalid.
* You have already setup a security mechanism for the
phpMyAdmin-directory, eg. a .htaccess file. This would interfere
with phpMyAdmin's authentication, so remove it.
Is it possible to let users create their own databases?
Yes, but currently (phpMyAdmin 2.2.4) there is no visual way to do
this in our user management page. For example, let's say users should
be able to create databases with a name starting like their username,
type this in a query box:
