WampServer

good evening friends.
i have windows 7 ultimate running and i have installed wamp server 2.1.
the icon appears green in the quik launch but a message appears that sever is offline. i am unable to open phpmyAdmin file and also MySQL console. when mysql console starts it asked for password i pressed enter an error appears that it closes. i dont know whats the password it is not blank. whenever i open my files in mozillah they didn't open.but before they was opening.i have removed and installed wamp many times.still same problem.kindly help me please. thank you.

it will be much easier if u state ur problem directly

to change ur password go to wamo\app\phpmyadminversion\ and edit config_inc.php
change ur pass cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']

thanks dear for replying. please understand my problem. i am explaining you in detail..
i had downloaded and installed wamp server on windows 7. i had configured mysql password. it was working fine. all the pages of php extensions were opened in mozilla as (http://localhost/php_sandbox/).
but after some time when i opened mysql console it asked for password , i input my password but it closes the console.it means that the password is incorrect.
i removed the wamp server and installed again to solve it. but nothing happened.still same problem in mysql console.
also now while opening pages in mozilla firefox a blank white screen appears.
i don't know what to do now.
i have tried that you said to do in config_inc.php. the details are below..it didn't work..please help dear..

/* Servers configuration */
$i = 0;

/* Server: localhost [1] */
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;


solve it please..

a blank page only appears for phpmyadmin?

this is an easy fix

open your hosts file

make sure it has

127.0.0.1 localhost


make sure it does NOT have

@steven
i have deleted :
::1 localhost
from the hosts file.. but still [http://localhost/] is not working....

@steven
its done.. in hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost
is appeared as a comment as shown below
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
when i have removed the # from the command it works..
thanks for figuring out and teaching me how to fix localhost domain problem..
kindly fix mysql problem now...

waoooooooo. now automatically phpmyadmin page loading works and mysql console is also working now.
it means due to local host problem phpmyadmin and mysql gives error.
kindly suggest me that is it the way to fix localhost problem and mysql password resetting..
thanks alot @steven..

Yes we know about this. its a bug in the mysqlnd driver that is not understanding the difference in ipv4 and ipv6 socket address,

Iv wrote to php team and phpmyadmin team many times to come up with a solution. They are working on it.
