How to set password for phpMyAdmin with default install of WAMP2?
- by Danjah
I just installed it fresh, previously there would be no password at all and I'd be prompted to set one for security purposes, this time I'm just hit with an error:
"Cannot connect: invalid settings.
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the
MySQL server, and the server rejected
the connection. You should check the
host, username and password in your
configuration and make sure that they
correspond to the information given by
the administrator of the MySQL
server."
I've changed nothing, but I did install over the top of an older version of WAMP2. That older install did not have a root password. Please don't hit me, but if there's a text fie I can update somewhere instead of getting a cmd line action wrong... I'd really like to be pointed in that direction.
I've just tried editing 'my.ini' and uncommented the password line out, so password is blank, but no luck. I don't mind setting a password and such, but right now I just want to get up and running, password or no.
