title: phpMyAdmin says no privilege to create database, despite logged in as root user
body: <p>I need to login to mysql using root user and create a database. However, when I login to PhpMyAdmin as root user, it tells me that it has "no privileges", therefore cannot create a database.</p>
  
  <p>I did not expect this to happen when I installed phpMyAdmin. Is there a way to fix this? Please help, thank you!</p>
