Fix error mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1045)

you need to create the user that you log in with to phpmyadmin

CREATE USER 'username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password_here';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'pmauser'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;

/* User for advanced features */

/etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'username'; 
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'password';
