Resolving MySQL Password Policy Error
To resolve this issue, you have a few options:
Choose a Stronger Password:
MySQL has password strength requirements. Make sure your chosen password meets these requirements, such as having a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
Change MySQL Password Policy:
If you have control over MySQL's configuration and are willing to adjust its password policy, you can lower the password validation level. However, this might not be recommended for security reasons.
Retry with a Different Password:
Retry the installation with a different password that meets the MySQL password policy requirements.
Steps to Retry Installation
Retry the Installation:
Choose the option to retry installation when prompted. During this retry, make sure to enter a password that complies with MySQL's password policy.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin
Follow the prompts and when asked to set up the MySQL application password, enter a strong password that satisfies MySQL's password policy requirements.
Manually Configure phpMyAdmin:
Alternatively, you can skip the automatic database setup during phpMyAdmin installation and manually configure it later. This involves setting up a MySQL database and user separately.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin
During the configuration process, choose the manual configuration option when prompted.
Example Commands to Execute
Here's an example of how you might retry the installation and set a password:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin
Follow the prompts and ensure to provide a password that meets MySQL's password policy requirements when prompted.
