I'm getting this error message in myPHPAdmin in a [pink window]:

Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.

I'm thinking it might be due to the system not finding the user: anonymous which I removed from the mySQL user table yesterday as a security measure.

In the configuration.php file I find the following which refer to the (now missing) [''] anonymous user:

public $ftp_host = '127.0.0.1';
public $ftp_port = '21';
public $ftp_user = '';
public $ftp_pass = '';
public $ftp_root = '';
public $ftp_enable = '0';


public $smtpauth = '0';
public $smtpuser = '';
public $smtppass = '';
public $smtphost = 'localhost';
public $smtpsecure = 'none';
public $smtpport = '25';

If removing the anonymous user was the correct thing to do for security purposes (I read it somewhere in all the security reading I've done), should these sections of the configuration.php file be changed somehow?

If so, how should these be configured? Can I just delete the sections, or would that be bad? Can I just point these instructions to one of the password-secured users still in the user table of MySQL?
