WampServer

I've installed WAMP on my system after not getting MySQL and PHP to function manually. I am new to these applications and need to learn them quickly for my company. Now I am getting that Apache is running, pHp is fine, but "MySQL not launched or bad phpmyadmin config" is the message I get from "localhost' page. Please let me know what to look for to get these working so I can start working with them.



Thanks in advance for your help!

make sure you access phpmyadmin using:

[localhost]

Try:

phpinfo(); in a php source, look for mysql entries.

Have you tried:

cmd>mysql -u root -p

Hit [CR] twice

And got the mysql prompt?

Also look in your antivirus software configuration menu if you should not enable listening on port 80, 8080 or any port specific to mysql

Beware, on Wamp the config file php.ini is not under \php, it's under \apache2\bin

universalbitmapper, he is not having a password related problem. he can access mysql and is not getting any kind password errors. Make sure you do not have any other versions of mysql installed, and make sure your firewall, including windows firewall allows mysql to connect.
