WampServer

Hello,

I installed Wamp5 in a machine, in a WindowsXP-based LAN. All services seam to be running well. I created a few PHP files (without database access) in the server and when i try to access them it works perfectly. I get a "permission denied" error when I try to access Mysql databases from another machine in the LAN, both by command line or phpmyadmin. In the server machine I get no error. I turned off the firewall, but it didn't solve the problem.
Is there any special configuration I have to make to allow remote access to Mysql databases?
Thanx.

I had a similar problem and found a workaround, if not a complete explanation. From the remote machine I got a MySQL authentication denial if I used a domain name in the url, but no problem if I used the server's IP address in the url. So there must be a problem at some point with name resolution. I hope someone can clarify this some more.

that is because the roms (the developer of wamp) setup permissions for phpmyadmin to only allow localhost access phpmyadmin. so, if you try to connect any other way, it will not work.
