WampServer

My WAMPSERVER environment seem to be operational but "localhost" is not always equal to "127.0.0.1". While "localhost" seem to work fine for the main wampserver page and my main project readme setup file, it doesn't work correctly for the MYSQL DB. So if I use "localhost" as the root to execute phpMyAdmin I get the main page but I can't use any of the tabs (e.g., Database, user, Etc.). But if I use "127.0.0.1" as the root to execute phpMyAdmin everything work fine. I have tried most of the solutions proposed on the wampserver forum to bind localhost and 127.0.0.1 but none seem to address this issue
When I setup my main project the configuration of database is defined as "localhost" as the root and fail on creating the DB, user, password etc. because it is not connected via "localhost". I need to ensure that local host is 127.0.0.1, thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

Sorry I'm a novice when it comes to WAMPserve. Exactly where and how do I do that?

Do you wanna get Teamviewer and ill take a look

There is 2 different approaches to solve this issue and it will take a bit of investigation to find out which is better

It looks like MYSQL is properly bound to 0.0.0.0 according to the MySQL.log.

# Example MySQL config file for medium systems.
#
# This is for a system with little memory (32M - 64M) where MySQL plays
# an important part, or systems up to 128M where MySQL is used together with
# other programs (such as a web server)
#
# You can copy this file to
# /etc/my.cnf to set global options,
# mysql-data-dir/my.cnf to set server-specific options (in this
# installation this directory is C:\mysql\data) or
# ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options.
#
# In this file, you can use all long options that a program supports.
# If you want to know which options a program supports, run the program
# with the "--help" option.

# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients

# Replication Slave (comment out master section to use this)
#
# To configure this host as a replication slave, you can choose between
# two methods :
#
# 1) Use the CHANGE MASTER TO command (fully described in our manual) -
# the syntax is:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=<host>, MASTER_PORT=<port>,
# MASTER_USER=<user>, MASTER_PASSWORD=<password> ;
#
# where you replace <host>, <user>, <password> by quoted strings and
# <port> by the master's port number (3306 by default).
#
# Example:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='125.564.12.1', MASTER_PORT=3306,
# MASTER_USER='joe', MASTER_PASSWORD='secret';
#
# OR
#
# 2) Set the variables below. However, in case you choose this method, then
# start replication for the first time (even unsuccessfully, for example
# if you mistyped the password in master-password and the slave fails to
# connect), the slave will create a master.info file, and any later
# change in this file to the variables' values below will be ignored and
# overridden by the content of the master.info file, unless you shutdown
# the slave server, delete master.info and restart the slaver server.
# For that reason, you may want to leave the lines below untouched
# (commented) and instead use CHANGE MASTER TO (see above)
#
# required unique id between 2 and 2^32 - 1
# (and different from the master)
# defaults to 2 if master-host is set
# but will not function as a slave if omitted
#server-id = 2
#
# The replication master for this slave - required
#master-host = <hostname>
#
# The username the slave will use for authentication when connecting
# to the master - required
#master-user = <username>
#
# The password the slave will authenticate with when connecting to
# the master - required
#master-password = <password>
#
# The port the master is listening on.
