Hello,

I am very, very new to all of this so if anyone can help me by providing step by step instructions as what to do I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Steven,

Thanks for catching that. I thought the image shack link was working:

I uploaded the pic again and will try again.

Basically I am being denied access to PHPMyadmin and have no idea why.

All I can say is that I upgraded from Wampserver 2.0c to Wampserver 2.0f (the current version) and I have two versions of PHP in Wamp; 5.2.6 and 5.2.8.

Not sure why I can't get access and wanting to upload my site to my server.

Here is the pic in case it helps.




Thanks,

Matt

Oke, I found in the forum the following solution: go back to the former working version of phpmyadmin by changing the reference in the wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf file: eg. replace 3.1.1 by 2.11.6 (2 times):

Alias /phpmyadmin "....../wamp/apps/phpmyadmin2.11.6/"

# to give access to phpmyadmin from outside
# replace the lines
#
# Order Deny,Allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
#
# by
#
# Order Allow,Deny
# Allow from all
#

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

Does the 2.0.c work flawlessly?

I'll try that too. I guess I am looking for wamp as a keyword in the Registry. Any other keywords that you might suggest?

PS: Which is the ONE 2.0 package that has no issues? I've tried everything from 2.0d > 2.0e > 2.0f > 2.0c


I just want to do simple Blog with Wordpress & maybe later Joomla. I do not want to spend too much time in the WAMP world.

***Solution***:

There is a syntax error in the file named "config.inc.php" located in C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.1.1.

Look for:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = true;

(For me it is on line 22.)

and change it to:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = 'true';

The "true" is missing it's quotation marks so it returns as 'false'. Restart all the services and it will now allow you access.

For me this was the clue to solve the issue in my case: the complete line was missing and after including the line, it works fine.

So check whether the line:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = true;

exists in the file named "config.inc.php" located in C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.1.1.
