WampServer

mysql console beeps and shuts down after I enter the password . In addition this bit of code doesn't work for me
<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="POST">
I get this error:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /Test/< on this server.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/2.0.59 (Win32) PHP/5.1.6 Server at localhost Port 80


I took out the $_SERVER part and just put in
<form action="array.php" method="post">
and it works. Then I tested port 80 and and it says that my port 80 is not being used. Any more suggestions I would certainly appreciate them.

I had the same problem with mySql too. I stumbled on the answer by mistake, and hopefully it will help you as well.

When the console opens don't enter the password, just hit the "Enter" key. When I did that by mistake it opened it up for me, so now any time I need to use the console I just do that and it works.

Go figure.

yeah been there done that, I've installed and reinstalled several times, even done the password set up idea. I've had it working before in previous installations but the last two or three its not there. there is something else going on, but I keep looking, great suggestion though...
