WampServer

I've installed wampserver I have not changed any configuration files as of yet. It will allow me enter phpMyAdmin, but will not allow me to changes the privileges for the user 'root' so I can not set a password.

It will not allow me to add a user so I can not find a way to add a passworded protected user, remove the root user, and recreate the root account.

any advice would be appericated.

thanks in advance

What does happen when you clicking on Privileges link? If new page appears, just click on Edit Privileges icon beside root account to change anything you want (certainly, also your password). Remember, change root password (in WAMP) takes two "actions":

- Set password in Privilleges in phpMyAdmin from your Browser at localhost.
- Set password in config.inc.php in /wamp/phpmyadmin at line below:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'Your_new_password_here'; // MySQL password...

Hope this help!

I uninstalled then reinstalled and all is working now. I am using wampserver as a test inviroment and have no plans to open it world wide. I guess I can just use htaccess to restrict access correct?

If you don't have dns or dynip service, don't worry about worldwide. To retrict local network users, read my post here
