Hello,

Could you try resetting the MariaDB password for the user of virtual server in question using the “Edit Databases” page? Would it work then?

That seems cause a different response, but the other domains is the password error.

Hello,
Same issue when custom user and password.
OS Ubuntu 24.04
Logging in via website on phpmyadmin gives error

mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for …

https://domain/phpmyadmin/index.php?route=/
There is no route specified.
Changed them to original, no changes.

It s a test server so deleted the virtual server.
Created new virtual server, used default user and password for database and it works.

Regards
