WampServer

Hey,I install wampserver 2.2 and it working properly,I wanted to set a password to phpmyadmin, so I go to c/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin 3.4.2 and I open config.inc.php and I change $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '888'; and $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;I don't know what went wrong and mysql service stop working,

Did you Stop the MySQL service and then re-Start it after editing the config.inc.php file? You may also need to Stop & Start Apache after making changes to any of the config files.

Also, you may need to change:

>> $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = ''; // remove username entry

Do you mean MySQL stopped working or that phpMyAdmin will not let you into your databases any more.


The order of event is supposed to be:
1. add a password to the root userid ( using phpMyAdmin )
2. Change the phpMyAdmin config file ( like you did ) to use the password you set up.

So change the phpMyAdmin config file back to have no password and allow NoPassword, then start again at point 1.

I mean mysql stop working,wamps management console is still orange,and i try to go phpmyadmin and it giving me this erro ,server is not responding(or the local Mysql server's socket is not correctly configured),and I check apache is working,I stopped the apache and start it again, but it giving me same erro.

Well in that case what does it say in your MySQL Log file?
Also check in the Event viewer, MySQL errors are also reported in there.

There is no log file in c:/wamp/logs/mysql.log file, and I check even viewer it give the following error. Level: error.source: service control manager.even I'd: 7000.task category: none,level:error.source: mysql.event I'd:100.task category:none

It also give the following error in the even viewer,the wampmysqld service failed to start due to the following error:the system cannot find the file specified.I re install the wampserver but it still give the error.

Try running this:
1. wampmanager -> MySQL -> Service -> Remove Service
2. wampmanager -> MySQL -> Service -> Install Service

Does that cure the problem?

when all else fails, re-install wamp ... but back up your data first!

Yah it cure the problem,thanks a lot,your are great
