can i get any help?

WAMP blocks external access to phpmyadmin for security reasons. Exposing that directory to the Internet (globally) would make your databases vulnerable.

If you want to change this:

1. Open phpmyadmin and go to 'Privelages' and set a root password. Make SURE you protect this account!

2. Open C:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf

Change:

<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin2.11.6/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

To:

<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin2.11.6/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Allow, Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

If you want to have users authenticate (login) with their username and password, open C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin2.11.6\config.inc.php:

Change (Line 71):

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';

To (Line 71):

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http';


Finally, give WAMP a restart and it should work!

ok i change it it allow me to access it but on the database when i click on phpmyadmin it open my database good thing, but when i click on previlages it says Error
MySQL said:

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

where can i go to set password for that because am sure theere is a script writing for it but am not sure where it is?

Nope, what happened is you changed the root password and phpmyadmin reloaded thinking there was still no password. You need to open the config.inc.php file and make that change on line 71 from 'config' to 'http'. Now, it will bring up a login screen where you can enter 'root' as the username and whatever password you just set to get back into phpmyadmin.

That should work, let me know.

Also, here's a guide for reference if you have trouble:

so far evething is work ok, but whne i try connect to my database from dreamwaver it kept on giving me code 404 file not found, here are some reasons
1 there is no testing server on the server michine
2 the testing server specified for this site does not map to
[localhost] url. verify that the url prefix maps to the root of the site
