Set the MySQL password and it works great!
To get PHPmyAdmin working is a whole other story.
I read a few posts and am getting the following error: "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration".
I took a look at the config.inc.php file in the phpmyadmin directory and the password I chose is there.
The documentation had the following info but does not sound like a fix:
"Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called "PHP-MySQL" or something similar. "
[1.20] I receive the error "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration".
To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed.
Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called "PHP-MySQL" or something similar.
