WampServer

Hi,

I'm having strange problems here. Did a re-install of WAMP, and after that started to get this "Could not connect to the MySQL server" error while trying to install Wordpress or Zenphoto.

The WAMP icon is all white, the username/pass is correct, permissions are ok I believe, and only a few days ago all was fine (on old install)..

... found some instructions here about downloading MySql separately and replacing the folder in the WAMP package while keeping the old my.ini file. Either I did something wrong, or that didn't help, just created new problems. Then got a fresh WAMP copy again, and reinstalled. Doesn't help

Please, does anyone know where is the problem?

Thanks

Did you create db for each before installing them?

I did it, if not thousands, at least hundreds, and always work ;-)
You must did something wrong :-(
