Hi i downloaded a tutorial from here somewhere to configure mysql php and phpmyadmin i went through the tutorial without a hitch. a real great tutorial. Unfortunately now the next day i goto use it and i cant access phpmyadmin. i have changed the config file passwords to have no password still cant get in . i uninstalled everything all reg keys as well and redid the tutorial still cant getin. Any ideas guys?

Im the one who created that offline tutorial , maybe your IP
Address changed and you use that as your phpmyadmin
URL Path and some how you can't get in now , :?

All you have to do is go into my.ini, remove the password you have entered for the root account, delete your cookies, reboot, and connect to phpMyAdmin with no password.
Once inside, create a password for the root account (and any other users you have set up), and that's all she wrote.

Don't feel bad, we're all braindead one time or another (implying that we have a brain... hehe).

The address you are using is wrong...

demonhunter

iNaNimAtE

Ok, so what is the address that you're using?

Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
Over and over again , despite clean installs despite following directions with a fine tooth comb!

iNaNimAtE

Is it possible you are using a wrong username and password? Also, what address are you putting for your MySQL database?

Rev_Chris

Line 39
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://127.0.0.1/phpMyAdmin/';
Line 69
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1'; // MySQL hostname or IP address (have tried local host as well)
Line 80 and 81
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; // MySQL password (only needed
// with 'config' auth_type)
I did not select a username/password when installing mysql , the light is green but i just cant connect I have triied changing things around alot too.

iNaNimAtE

Remove "root" for the username, and change 127.0.0.1 to localhost (I know they're the same, but that's how I have it; and it works for me).

Rev_Chris

I just tried that right now and no change at all , im starting to wonder if mysql is running at all.

iNaNimAtE

Check for "mysqld.exe" in the task manager.

Rev_Chris

I got mysqld-nt in the task manager

iNaNimAtE

Yes... then apparently it's running.
Try restarting MySQL.
