Hi,

just configuring phpmyadmin I have a root password on mySQL and need to configure it for myadmin. been following a guide which has gone really well until I got to the "open phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php" its not there :s. i've been reading most of the night trying to figure out the code to alter the php.inc. file but its not working :s.

 

WAMP

apache 2.2.11

php 5.3.0

phpmyadmin 3.2.0.1

MySQL 5.1.36

 

any idea what I have to do... I have a database and MySQL is configured in the cmd line but I can't get it to grant access. can I get the setup.php file from somewhere and add it to the directory ?

 

or to I have to trudge through the code :s.

 

thanks

I've actually just removed the password from Mysql which I didn't think worked but after a few hours sleep and a good ol' shut down for my systemit seems to be working. So I have access and can work but I'm guessing I'll need to know how to configure this stuff in the future :s

 

HAVE YOU SEEN TH DOCUMENTATION ON IT ALL!!! OMG I'LL BE READING FOREVER.

Configuring MySQL server? Have you tried installing MySQL Administrator?

yeah, mysql isn't the issue. It's configuring PHPmyAdmin to access mysql through the, mysql password I configured.

I can login to mysql through the command line. I can't access PHPmyAdmin I get a 1045: error 'password:no' because I don't have the setup.php file in my scripts folder. So I can't follow along with the guide to configure the config.inc.php file in the PHPmyAdmin dir and editing the file directly is a no no because I dont have the level of skill. I have tried some tutorials and backed up and read loads of the documentation on mysql, PHPmyAdmin, WAMP ect... But to no avail.

Currently I have remove the password for root and I can continue working with the servers but I need to get my head round the security aspect or this will all be pointless. Please guys any help would be amazing.

Cheers.

You got any data in your mysql db or is this a fresh install? If its a fresh install, I'd uninstall everything and install Zend Server CE and save yourself the headache.

yeah I have a db but it's for a tutorial so I'll wait a while since this site isn't going online I'll leave the security and follow your advice.
