I installed the phpmyadmin WITHOUT the database. The default screen in http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XX/phpmyadmin/index.php when I enter my Mariadb username and password I get a message "mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1698): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'" - FYI, I am able to connect to Mariadb using putty with the SAME username/password which suggest to me there is some configuration. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Solved; You cannot use root user of mariadb in phpmyadmin you need to create a user for phpmyadmin https://devanswers.co/phpmyadmin-access ... localhost/
