WampServer

Hi, i recently installed WAMPSERVER to test my PHP scripts locally. Everything works fine except tha when i try to open phpmyAdmin it shows:
Error
MySQL said:

#2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

And using he mysql_connect function in the script returns:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'mohsin'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\wamp\www\MC2\mg.php on line 2

I've tried to tinker with php.ini file using ideas pcked from other posts, it hasn't helped.
Any Ideas?

try the user root first with no password

if that works go into privledges in phpmyadmin and set up a new user for you

Check Setup Password and Setup Database guides on my personal website

Can u tell in a more step by step approach plz, i couldn't make any head or tail of wat u said .

open up the file config.inc.php in c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin2.10


change



$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'blablabla'; // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; // MySQL password (only needed



to

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; // MySQL password (only needed



then empty browser history and try log in again

Well its already that way

did you ever have db before? if already uninstall, did you clean its registries as well?

No nothing of this sort before.

So you never had any type of db before; then, check if you have any soft in this list: IIS, Skype, NOD32, Internet Optimizer, Google accelerator, ...
I still wonder and try to find out the reason why recently a lot of people have the problem to run mysql after installing wamp???

Does your php script mysql_connect function reside on the same computer where the Wamp Server is running?

paste ur script up herre .it must be wrong

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","MC2","*********";
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
?>

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root";
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
?>




try this. if that works then u never set up ur user properly

I have the same problem and can't use PHPMyAdmin. I have just done a clean installation and have never had WAMP on the computer before. Just followed the installation instructions and have not change anything.
The other (SQLiteManager) works.

#2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Ok, I've tried to reinstall it and only followed the onscreen instructions.
But still, PHPMyAdmin don't work, MySQL-Lite work and has an database "Test" that is possible to navigate and do changes in...

Can you successfully open the mysql console and enter password if it asks?

I have not choosen any password and if I do this comes up. The same as when I go in on "localhost/phpmyadmin".

Check if the mysql server is running and listening on the default port 3306.
