I have installed the current latest WAMP package on Winserver 2003.
Everything checked out fine. phpMyAdmin worked fine.
THEN I saw that phpMyAdmin was warning that there was no password set for root@localhost.
So I used the MYSQL console to set a password. SET PASSWORD etc.
I exited the MYSQL console and re-entered to verify that the correct password was now required. It was.
I then started phpMyAdmin and got an expected 'access denied' message because it had no password for root on MYSQL.
I found that this password can be added to the php.ini file to solve this problem - I thought.
But it didn't. I added the correct password to php.ini - BUT phpMyAdmin still failed.
I shutdown and restarted WAMPSERVER but that didn't help.
So I am seeking advice on how I can tell phpMyAdmin the root password.
I also noted that I am advised *not* to put the password in clear in php.ini. How else can I provide it?
Hoping someone can help.
Keep it simple please
