Ikah Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 First off, Hello! Im new to both php & this site. I'm having problems with phpmyadmin. This is exactly what i had done: -I have the latest wamp installed. -in phpmyadmin folder I created the folder "config" (the folder is set to both read & write) -In the scripts/setup, i added a new server. I kept it with localhost, didn't change anything... only added my password i had set for root. I clicked Add. What I'm trying to do is save my configurations, but in the configurations section both the save & load buttons are greyed out. ??? Please help, & I thank you for your time.

rajivgonsalves Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 go and edit the config.inc.php in the main phpMyadmin folder its much easier that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikah Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 go to c:\wamp\phpmyadmin open "config.inc.php" in notepad change $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; // MySQL password (only needed to $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'yourpassword'; // MySQL password (only needed save the file in notepad and your done.. I have these settings in that file, $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'my password'; Are all of these correct? I am very positive that I am putting the correct password, yet when i try & access phpmyadmin, I am getting the same error that i have gotten when i first opened it: " MySQL said: Documentation #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" btw- i really appreciate all your help.

Ikah Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 I actually solved this by just using xampp instead of wamp & everything is working fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I don't know if you can call that solving the problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikah Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 I don't know if you can call that solving the problem... I understand what you're saying, but I still call it solving. People over at the phpmyadmin site told me that wamp was having some vista issues & for me to switch to xampp. What would of you have suggested? (rajivgonsalves's suggestion was helpful, but did not work for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
