WampServer

Hi all, now I`ve instaled new Wamp 2.0f and when I try to connect to phpmyadmin (I`m using [127.0.0.1]) "Access denied" message appears?

Can someone help me?

p.s. when I had wamp 2.0c everything was ok....

Thanks
Kamil

Facing the same problem

phpmyadmin from outside the network? or from localhost?

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.

It started with 2.0d which was giving some mysqld.exe error and since then I haven't had luck with even ONE of them.

***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.

Hi Kast

Thanks for the tip!

Also worked for me in LAMP, Ubuntu 7.10, I was facing the same issue.

Regards,

The problem is in the "C:\wamp\alis\phpmyadmin.conf" file.

The directory to phpmyadmin is not correct.

It was: Alias /phpmyadmin "C:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.0.1.1/"

And I changed it to: Alias /phpmyadmin "C:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.1.1/"

cuz there is no 3.0.1.1, it's 3.1.1

I just upgraded wampserver to 2.0f today and ran into this same issue.

My phpmyadmin.conf file had the correct directory, so that wasn't the problem.

My config.inc.php in the PHPMyAdmin3.1.1 did not have the line with the allownorootpassword in it, so that wasn't the problem either.

I changed the directory for PHPMyAdmin in the phpmyadminconf to reference the old phpmyadmin for now and that seemed to work.

I will research the issue with the 3.1.1 folder further to see what the problem is with that folder.

Hi
In my phpmyadmin.conf the alias was ok. And i could not find the $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = true; line there. I also changed the alias to point to the old one but the problem still remains there.

What i did was adding $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = 'true'; to the mentioned file. this seems to be the solution.

lameei,

Adding that line to the config.inc.php file in the PHPMyAdmin3.1.1 folder did the trick. Of course, I just set mine to false.

I don't know why I didn't think of that before. That might be something the developer might want to think of adding so future people don't get stuck on that.

hi lameei..

same prob, did as you specified.. sorted it thanks
