WampServer

Hi all,

Reinstalled WAMP today as it wasn't working, turned off skype, turned off Skype port 80 etc.

So then WAMP was fully on, Apache and all, but localhost doesn't work.
However, 127.0.0.1 does work.

When I go to PHPMyAdmin, it says it can't connect to MySQL database.

###
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
###

Ideas ladies and gents?

Did you fill in the right info for each host, username and password in your config.php?

open file hosts in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc and make sure you have only this line and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost

to setup password, follow this

Thanks Lefty for your time,
but an even bigger thanks to yfastud!

Answer worked first time. Dunno how that file could have changed, but who cares!


Only problem was editing the file. Had to create a text file, then remove the extension in DOS, but I'm sure I'm doing something silly.


Many thanks again
