In this guide we will show you how to restrict root login through phpMyAdmin.For this you have to edit phpMyAdmin configuration file config.inc.php and update following parameters:
cd /usr/share/phpmyadmin # nano config.inc.php $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot'] = FALSE;
