Sir,after putting the command “sudo mysqladmin -u root password your-new-password” I am getting an error:
mysqladmin: connect to server at ‘localhost’ failed
error: ‘Access denied for user ‘chandan’@'localhost’ (using password: YES)’

Please guide me to get rid of this problem

On Ubuntu Server 10.04 it’s easier to do:

ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf

Maybe that works on other ubuntu releases too.
For this to work, the following line must found at the end of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

# Include generic snippets of statements
Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/

I found that the following steps were also needed to get phpmyadmin working under Apache:

In a terminal type:

gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Add:
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

and in terminal type:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Thanks for the tutorial. However, I believe starting with 7.10 Gutsy--and I know for certain in 8.04 Hardy--if you install mysql server using apt-get, you will be prompted to enter a password for the mysql root user during the installation.

Keep up the excellent work.
