WampServer

I am trying to install prestashop, but get the error:

Database Server is not found. Please verify the login, password and server fields (DbPDO)

I typed in localhost as my server.

I can't remember my login to PHP my admin, so i can't check if it is the right name and password.

does anyone know where to see this?

????? makes no sense

if you cant login , then you dont know the username/password

if you dont know the username/password you cant tell prestashop the details to log in


you cant see it, unless you know it

Sorry
In wampserver phpmyadmin i am already logged in.
I can't remember if wampserver phpmyadmin is setted up to have a user and a pass, whch i need to type in for my prestashop installation.

Database login: ??
Database password: ??

Nothing works....

Ok if you are already using phpMyAdmin then I assume you are using the default 'root' mysql userid.
If you did not need to enter a password then 'root' may wall be in its default configuration which that it has NO password.

Alternatively, if you think you did add a password to the root userid, try looking in this file for your password.

C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.x.y\config.inc.php

You should see the password in this config param


$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';

If this is blank and you can use phpmyadmin then the password is nothing otherwise it should be between the single quotes

Of course you should really setup a new mysql user for this, give it a password, create the database, and allocate rights for that database only to your newly created userid.
