running phpmyadmin using wamp server

[Sudhakar]

i have installed wamp on my computer and when i access phpmyadmin i
get the following error

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

i already have xampp installed on my computer, i want to learn smarty
templates so i am using wamp for the sake of learning smarty, i do not
want to install smarty on xampp as it is already configured with other
settings so i would like to use wamp

i am using windows xp service pack 2

i have changed the port to 81 in the httpd.conf configuration file of
wamp and changed server name to localhost:81 so i access wamp as
http://localhost:81 this works fine, from this page when i click on
phpmyadmin link i get the error

#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

i have followed the steps from the following links

http://www.wampserver.com/phorum/read.php?2,30300
http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=58057


i have tried stopping all services and restarted wamp service however
i am not able to access phpmyadmin but i am able to access wamp as
http://localhost:81 and any files i create in the wamp/www folder

please advice.

thanks

It is a MySQL permissions issue. Go and set a root username and password for
MySQL.

It does sound though like you should be spending some time learning some
fundamentals prior to attempting your project, as your question really does
rate along with 'how do I turn my computer on'?

if ($userName = 'Micheal')
{
echo header( 'http://groups.google.com/group/elitenzphpug/' ) ;
}

Wow. I almost wrote that from scratch! Dang, I'm getting better at
this PHP thing ;p

Sudhakar:
Hey man. Basically, your Mysql root user has a password set, but
phpmyadmin isn't providing a password when it connects to the
database. You need to edit phpmyadmin's config.inc.php file and put
your password in there (if it auto logs in, which I suspect it is).
Wamp should allow you to see or set the password somewhere. Might be a
default in documentation?

Hope this helps.

Michael:
stop being such a prick! This is a mailing list that's here for help.
You don't want to help someone then fine, but keep your mouth shut.
It's no worse than a lot of the questions that you ask.

Kind regards,

Eh, that should be

$userName == 'Micheal' [sic?]

So two ==, not one, thanks PHP's C heritage.
