flashicon Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I am new to PHP, MySQL, etc and I have set up all on my Mac.(OSX 10.4.. The problem with the setup script seems to lie in the instructions: "Next, open http://your_host/path/to/phpMyAdmin/scripts/setup.php in your browser" My browser will not open a PHP file. In the manual setup, it doesn't really state how to set up the user and password very clearly. As a result when I go to my "http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/ I can't enter because of the unknown password and my inability to set one up. Any advise would be appreciated.

wildteen88 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 When you install MySQL it sets up an admin account automatically, the username is root with no password set. I dont bother with phpMyAdmins setup script. I copy the default config file (config.default.php) from the library folder (./phpMyAdmin/libraries/) to the root folder of phpMyAdmin (./phpMyAdmin) and then rename it to config.inc.php. To configure phpMyAdmin you just edit this file. It is fully documented to help you configure phpMyAdmin.
