Initially i had wampserver and when i accessed phpmyadmin i made a mistake while setting a password for the root user and also made a mistake by changing config.php.inc or some php file and due to this i am unable to access phpmyadmin completely
i uninstalled wamp from control panel and also deleted the wamp folder from the computer, restarted the computer but the registry keys for wamp are still there so i then installed xampp, i removed port 80 on skype even then anytime i start apache server using xampp and when i access http://localhost/xampp it does not work so i uninstalled xampp and reinstalled xampp however the apache of xampp does not start for a reason i do not know so i basically do not have wamp or xampp how do i go about installing wamp or xampp so that i can use a webserver and phpmyadmin thanks On Dec 27, 8:53 am, Warren Boyd <[email protected]> wrote: > On 27/Dec/2009, at 03:48 , Sudhakar wrote:> after installing wamp when i > accessed phpmyadmin i got an error about > > root having no password, i have tried various steps but could not get > > to use phpmyadmin, so i uninstalled and reinstalled wamp, i deleted > > the old wamp folder when i access phpmyadmin i get the same error > > message > > <snip> > > Why don't you either add in a password for root (you should have a mysql > client installed under windows) > or change the flag within the PHPMyAdmin configuration to allow empty > passwords (search for $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] in your > config.inc.php) > > Note that the second option may or may not be available in your version of > PHPMyAdmin and it's very ill advised to run an empty root password as it > means there is absolutely no authentication on the database - any one (or any > program) that can access your computer can do anything it likes to MySQL. > > Disclaimer: I don't run WAMP, so my experience here is purely with running > PHPMyAdmin ... > > HTH, > Wazza. -- NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected]
