Okay, I found & followed the instructions for establishing a root password and
verified that it works. I used only lower case alphanumeric characters.
After some back & forth editing, phpMyAdmin is also running again. Thanks for
the pointers. I thought I had read all the relevant sections of the MySQL /
phpMyAdmin manuals (I normally don't post a question until I've at least
glanced through the various manuals, man pages etc) but I guess I missed some
important stuff.
I THINK I killed outside access to the directory by Apache by using the
Directory directive as follows.
<Directory "/fully/qualified/path/name/phpMyAdmin">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.1
</Directory>
<Directory "/fully/qualified/path/name/phpMyAdmin">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.1
</Directory>
I wouldn't mind if someone took a look to make certain I got it right. Since I
allow my own LAN to contact it, I don't know how to verify that it is working
from within the LAN. I know that it worked when I wrote it more
restrictively, but I don't know how to verify (belt + suspenders + superglue)
that it is inaccessible from other machines while still open to mine.
