WampServer

Another confused newbie: from all the great wampserver tutorials, I gather I change password for root user in phpmyadmin, then go to 'config.inc.php' (was none, so I created a new php file, and cut/paste from the config.inc file already in there)..left root as was, and
set password (where thta great wamp guide said to) to same password I entered in 'change password (phpMyadmin>priveleges>edit user) I am still denied access and don't know why. Maybe I set the wrong url ($cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'localhost/phpmyadmin/' and the phpmyadmin folder is in C:\wamp\phpmyadmin. Have done this several times, installed/uninstalled wamp serveral times (because, once I'm denied access, of course, the wamp is useless to me, unless u know of a way to get around this (starts crying)

thanks for this forum..trying to run Joomla beta 1.5 (wamp5 is best)

I logged into phpmyadmin and set password. After that I could not get in without receiving some sql error.
I found I didn't have a config.inc.php either so copied the sample like yourself. Tried phpmyadmin login again and was told to assign the $cfg['blowfish_secret'] in config.inc.php file. Did this and logged in successfully using the root password I previously assigned.
Does this help?



*Yup... Still not working.*

Hi, simply copy (= duplicate) the existing file config.inc.install
to a new config.inc.php an then , at line 31, complete (modify) with :

$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin/';

stop and restart all services in wamp and test.
