WampServer

I am using Cartweaver. When I originally set up WAMP, I guess I didn't set up a password for MySQL, because now on the Setup Connection on Cartweaver, it is asking for a password to my database.

I can't leave it blank. That doesn't work.

So how do I go back into the setup of MYSQL (even though WAMP is all running just fine) and REassign a password for the database? that way if it has a password, I can continue to set up Cartweaver, and when it asked for my database password I can type in the same one and it should continue to setup.

Did that make sense? SMILE Just need to set up a password for MySQL, even though I'm past the point of setting up WAMP. It's already up and running.

Thanks

Too bad, Cartweaver is not free so I can't install it to face the real problem that you're having. In additions, it sounds like you didn't even create a db for it before installing, so the best solution I can come up for you as follows:
Through phpmyadmin, create the db w/ username and password for it then contimue to install it as instructed.

>>>db for it before installing, so the best solution I can come up for you as follows>>>

You mean before installling WAMP? Cartweaver creates everything you need, so I didn't need to establish a DB for that.

<<<<<Through phpmyadmin, create the db w/ username and password for it then contimue to install it as instructed.>>>>

See, CW will create the db for me (using their db - but for learning it that works for me), but I don't want to CREATE a db right now. I just need to create a PASSWORD for MySQL.

<<<add uses using phpmyadmin, the link is in my sig.>>>>
Okay, I will go to the link and see what I can find out.

Thank you

Cartweaver is just a shopping cart script, and I've installed some Shopping-Cart and E-commerce scripts, but this is the first time I hear that the script create the db for user, so it MUST be a very GREAT script. If really so, enjoy it.

It actually just created all the pages for me: Confirmation, Details, Login, OrderForm, Results, ShowCart, etc.

It's CartWeaver.

It says the CW 2 database is built in MySQL. The AdmninArea is provided to make populating the database easy for a store's admin. The MySQL database script is zipped in the package.

They just tables: parts of db, not db

Ask yourself this question: if it already has built-in db, why it needs full-privileged admin's password to log-in your main db? Might be I'm so paranoid, but I'd mostly likely stay away from the scripts that requests info of admin w/ full privilege, who knows if there is a section in the scripts that feedback those info to its developers???

BTW, I'm having a script that has built-in db and that scripts can run by itself w/o the need of wamp, don't talk about requesting for admin's info; just my 2-cent.

Well, no matter...........I don't know anything about developing a shopping cart, and Cartweaver was created by a VERY RELIABLE company by creme-de-la-creme developers. So I trust it as a program.

The MySQL database creation script is included. Everything is fully commented.

You ask: why it needs full-privileged admin's password to log-in your main db?
Because you don't want other people having access to your database. If another person on your computer edited your db, that'd sure mess up the entire site. I think having a password is the better option here.

The way I understand it, one SHOULD have a log in for MySQL. I can get into the files without one, but the proper way to do this is WITH a username and password. I needed to go back and establish one so that MySQL and Cartweaver gel.

That's the MAIN reason why should NOT give out the admin's password even to install the script

You've got your point. Good luck!!!

Oh, I haven't given out the password to anyone. I don't need it just to install the script. I'm using it to establish an admin area.
