WampServer

Hi

Just installed WAMP server on my Win XP laptop and it worked perfectly. First thing I did was to change the root password for MySQL using phpnmyadmin - since when I have not been able to log back into phpmyadmin. I have edited the config.inc.php to add the password but phpmyadmin still will not open. just to check, I logged into the MySQL console and logged into the database using root and the new password without problems - so I know the password works.

Anyone know why phpmyadmin will not open ??
.

read the phpmyadmin section of my manual

Hi,

I'm also trying to get to phpMyAdmin, but still unsuccessful. I have followed all instructions given on your guide as well as in the Documentation file, but still get 403 Forbidden error. I'm a newbie, and so I need a better guide to fix it.

My system is Win2K Pro, SP4. I have a firewall, which I disabled. Both servers, Apache and MySQL, are up and running. Tried several configurations with config.inc.php - nothing helps. Still getting the same error.

Also, when I get to file :///C:/wamp/phpmyadmin/index.php it says "Firefox cannot find file /C:/wamp/phpmyadmin/navigation.php<?php echo $url_query; ?>." even though the navigation.php file is there in the phpmyadmin directory.

Appreciate your help

This is how my config.ini.php looks like:

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ' '; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE AUTH! */

I tried to change the auth_type from 'cookie' to 'HTTP' and to 'config' with a password.

Solution :

Add "Win32DisableAcceptEx" in your "httpd.conf" file (outside <Directory>, <VirtualHost>, <Location>, and so...).

Hi, same thing happened to me. Fortunately I made a complete copy of c:\wamp dir.

I wanted to see which files were affected and eventually fixed the issue by restoring the following folder : c:\wamp\mysql\data.

Not that helpful if you don't have a backup of it, but at least it narrows down the search for affected files.
