$i = 0;

/*
* First server

$i++;
/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
/* Server parameters */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
/* Select mysql if your server does not have mysqli */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;

only changes made are for host to use port 81,any help is appreciated.

not to my knowledge unless webmatrix installs one

It sounds like you either set a password on root and forgot it
OR
are connecting to another MySQL server which has got a password.set for the root userid.

Install TeamViewer and I will troubleshoot for you.

Install TV, then run it.

Send me a Private Message containing the TV ID and PASSWORD so I can connect.
Leave TV running as it will change the password each time you restart it.

I think I have exactly the same problem. How did you fixed this?

That person had another MySQL service running, so it had alreay grabbed the 3306 port.

Best not run 2 MySQL servers on the same machine at least until you become an expert.

So you just uninstall the other MySQL Server.


This happens usually when someone find wamp after trying to Do It All Themselves and failing, or some other product/tool they have installed also installs a MySQL Server.

Be careful, and make sure you are not actually using the other MySQL before uninstalling it.
