WampServer

I downloaded WAMP and installed the system on a tablet PC in order to install a system which collects forms data in a health setting. It works very well. I have tried to duplicate that system on a second identical tablet PC and have run into all sorts of problems when I changed the root password on the second system to the identical password I used on the first system.

On the problem machine, I can establish contact with MySQL using the MySQL console application (no password) and it will connect with the mysql and information schema databases. However phpMyAdmin will not connect with the original, unedited, and now several times reinstalled WAMP files.

Does anyone have any help possibly? I would be very happy to completely uninstall the WAMP system and reinstall it, however this has proved impossible as well. The phpMyAdmin problem stays.

OTOH, would simply copying the entire c:\wamp folder from the one machine to the other fix things? or is the registry, or deeply hidden files, involved here?

Thanks/merci for any help.

Edit the config.inc.php in c:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.1.3.1

Since there is 2 root users in MySQL
Server: localhost - Database: mysql - Table: user "Users and global privileges"
localhost root
127.0.0.1 root
(it was done due to Visa and one of it patches broke the "localhost" Host address)
You may need to change the Host Line so you target the right one

If all else fails Close out wamp and Copy the
C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.33\data\mysql Folder form the working PC and use it to replace the
C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.33\data\mysql on the problem system and allow it to replace all files

Thanks. Tried this (both steps) and there was still no joy for a bit. Still could access in the consoloe app but not in phpmyadmin. Then thought to clear all the caches in IE (being vanilla for a client). Worked.

I wonder, even suppose, that was the problem all along.

Anyway to all having phpmyadmin connection problems, and I see many are here, I would STRONGLY suggest that you clear the browser cache--especially if you are using IE--after any changes in the config files.

You can add AllowNoPassword directive like this in phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot']     = false;       // whether to allow root login
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = true;
