setting up wamp

[iphetamine]

I've set wamp successfully and could access localhost.

 

I also changed the mysql password using:

UPDATE user
SET Password=PASSWORD('xxx')
WHERE user='root';

 

and then:

 

FLUSH PRIVILEGES

 

It all worked fine and was able to use the new password in console.

But when I open http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ it gave me "MySQL said: #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)".

 

Any idea guys?

You need to edit phpMyAdmins configuration. Look for a file called config.inc.php within phpmyadmins folder.

 

Find the following line:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'

Change config to http

 

Also add // infront of the $cfg['Servers'][$i]['username'] and $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] lines too.

 

Save the config.inc.php file. PHPMyAdmin has now been configured to prompt for a username/password when you access http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

Ok, now for some reason wamp 2.0 stopped working. I opened IE and typed http://localhost/ and nothing came out, not even an error, as if there's no internet connection. How come? It just happened like that. ??? ???

Make sure Wamp is running, check the WAMP stats bar icon in the lower right hand of the screen.

Yeah, it's running. I tried stopping all services and starting again, nothing happened. I also tried restarting all services, nothing. Also tried Go Online, still nothing.

Strange, does http://127.0.0.1 load anything? If it does then it seems your Windows hosts file is at fault.

It loaded Wamp Server Config with this on top:

Notice: Undefined variable: projectContents in D:\wamp\www\index.php on line 194

 

So what's wrong here, I don't have that many lines??

 

[wildteen88]

So http://127.0.0.1 works by http://localhost doesn't?

 

If that the case have at the hosts file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc). Make sure there is the following line in there:

127.0.0.1       localhost

If its not added. Save the hosts file. Re-test http://localhost/

Yes.

 

and yes, that line IS already in the hosts file. I restarted all services and retested, but still I don't get anything.
