config problem

[opus15]

Hi - have a small problem that's driving me nuts...

I use my pc to develop a php application, all my files however are located on a remote/usb hard drive (I use EasyPHP, apache).

I want to run the application on my laptop, simply by connecting the remote hard drive - but I get this error message Access denied for user 'root@localhost'... and in phpmyadmin the error message is #1045 - Access denied for user...

 

(I've tried updating the config.inc.php file, and copying the php.ini to c:/windows on the laptop, and php5ts.dll to the windows/system32 directory).

 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

ok so you connect the hard drive in,

 

this means if you would like to run the site on your laptop server you need to fill in directives on you laptop servers httpd.conf

 

please be more specific if this is not the case and state if you have told apache where to look for files

you may be on to something - I'm guessing that the httpd.conf is where I tell apache to look for files. I haven't changed it in any way, but it's on the usb hard drive, so all directives should be the same?

i think were a bit confused here,

 

you either use the server on your laptop

 

or you eitheruse the server on your usb drive, to us ethe laptop servers just start them up.

 

to use the usb servers its more complex.

 

 

just go to your laptops apache and find httpd.conf and go to root and another setting with the same as root setting and modify it using the path from explorer window to your usb drive.
