WampServer

Hi,

I'm a complete newbee.
I have installed wamp to the default directory (c:\wamp) and I am using the default working directory (c:\wamp\www).

I would like to set up a connection to a database I have created, called dreamhome, from Dreamweaver MX 2004. I have set up the user name and password in the config.inc.php file.
Dreamweaver asks for the following information:

Connection name: connDHome
MySQL server: ???
User name: root
Password: ********
Database: dreamhome

I'm not sure what to put for 'MySQL server'. I have tried numerous directories including c:\wamp\ and its sub directories. I have also tried [localhost]. Dreamweaver can't connect. My server is running.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

A friend suggested just using localhost, which seems to work.

Now I get the error
MySQL #: 1045 Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I have only used the config.inc.php file to set the password. Do I need to set it somewhere else?

Thanks for your help.

Cancel that, removing the password worked.
Never mind.

change:

MySQL server: ???

to

MySQL server: localhost
