How to resolve ovh phpmyadmin access denied for user?

Typically, error looks as shown below:

#1044 – Access denied for user to database

This error message means that the database you are trying to import contains elements that are not authorised on the OVHcloud shared infrastructure.

First make sure that your database is empty from the Databases tab of the relevant service. Click on the ... button next to the database concerned, then select Recalculate the quota.

You can also tick the Empty the current database box just before launching the import

You cannot have a “trigger” in your database’s import script on OVHcloud shared hosting servers.

The following query is also not allowed:

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `Database-Name` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci; 

Use this this line instead:

USE `Database-Name`;

Replace Database-Name with the name of the database as displayed in your OVHcloud Control Panel.

Unable to access phpMyAdmin

“Access denied for user”

“mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/1045): Access denied for user”

This error message may appear when connecting to your database by phpMyAdmin. It indicates that the credentials entered are incorrect.

In this situation, check the credentials entered and change your database password if necessary.

“Too many connections”

“mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1040): Too many connections”

The maximum number of active connections for databases delivered with a shared hosting (Start SQL) is 30.

A “Too many connections” error when connecting to phpMyAdmin appears, if this maximum number of connections is exceeded.

In this situation, you will need to optimise your databases in order to reduce the number of active connections.

“Name or service not known”

“mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/2002): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known”

This error message appears when connecting to phpMyAdmin if the server name entered is incorrect.

Check the server name for the relevant database service in your OVHcloud Control Panel.

If the database you would like to connect to appears in the Databases tab of the Hosting plans section of your OVHcloud Control Panel, the name to enter is in the Server address column.
