WampServer

Hello, there.

I am trying to set up my Wamp but the error -- configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret) -- is in the way.

It seems i did the right instructions from JBLN guides...

Someone would be so kind to shed some light on this??

You might forgot to put in the passphrase, so go back to the guide, check the screenshot to make sure you put it in the right place

Thank you so much for the attention.
Yes... i did it.. the word i put there was

'comovai'

I changed it several times and tried out with different words... but din't work.

I am grateful to any help on this, cause i'd like to test Joomla 1.5 in my home environment.

Thanks again!!

After changed it, did you exit and restart wamp to take effect?

Hello, moderator!

I opened Wamp for the first time today and the situation has changed.

Now the dialog box asks for the password, but does not accept the one i inserted in the query.

Quote:

Erro
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

What to do now??

I edited my latest post!!
Situation changed!
Thanks for the attention!

dont use blowfish .. lol change phpmyadmin to config instead of cookir auth ...


it offers litlle protection to use blowfish

I am grateful to your post!
But, would you, please , write it more clearly?

This editing is just in the config.inc file?

Thank you, very much.

yes. change authtype ='cookie'

chnage authtype ='config'

then if u did fill in a password in mysql for user= root


fill it in to

password=' '


then restart phpmyadmin..


if u get an errot post it up here

Hi, Thank you.

Still this... but the window frame opened differently... the dialog box came bigger.

Quote 2:
Config.in file

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'comovai';

and the setting you instructed 'config' , 'root' & '*******'

leave blowfish empty


more importantly did u ever set a password for the user root?


this config.inc file does not set it..... it only signs u into mysql automatically. if u didnt give the user a password then leave the password empty. once u get into phpmyadmin u can then add a password.

Yes... i did set a query and it went smoothly... two times i inserted the password desired.

And now i emptyed the blowfish thing:


Quote:

$cfg[''] = '';

Saved, reopened Wamp and came still this:

Erro

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Same window as before


THANK YOU FOR CARING

ok all i can suggest u to do is delete the usertable and install a new one,.

you can get the three files here on my server.... [pampserver.com]



END WAMP COMPLETELY

MAKE SURE THERE IS NO MYSQLD-NT SERVICES RUNNING


open C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.45\data\mysql


there is three files

USER.frm
USER.MYD
user.MYI

Delete them


downlaod off my server and put them back in.


open ur config.inc file


Have user as 'root'
password as ''
auth type 'config'


then restart wamp
clear ur browser history and go into phpmyadmin

ok!

Hi, there...

What happened is that i misunderstood you first words and uninstalled everything living no trace in the computer.
All historic also.

Can you help still?

So...
I reinstalled everything carefully, folowing the instructions from JBLN site.
Deleted all cookies, flies in the browser.
I was more clear now knowing the steps ahead.
Created a new password by Phpadmin.
Then I inserted a secret word for blowfish, changed config to cookie and put my desired password in the field ahead of those two, as the instructions go.

Closed everything and restarted the computer.

Finished, everything working.

Thanks a lot for the attention.

Good work for all of you .

You're welcome any time ;-)
