01RhchmondHill Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The most basic of questions .... how do I access the phpmyadmin dashboard (fig 4.8, p 120? I was initially able to get this dashboard using /localhost/phpmyadmin. I then set a root password in App. A in order to use MySQL Client. After that I wasn't able to get the phpmyadmin dashboard, getting the error shown in fig 4.9 on p121 instead, which referred me to App A to create a user. I did this. Created a user in Appendix A, and validated it, getting the blank screen shown in fig. A-15 on p. 599. But when I type in the URL of localhost/ phpmyadmin, I'm still getting fig 4.9. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartleySan Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Are Apache and MySQL both running from your XAMPP Control Panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01RhchmondHill Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Yes. To reproduce the problem ... I type localhost/phpmyadmin/ (with and without the trailing slash) in the URL. As I said, the access seems to have become problematic after I set the root password (ch 4, p118, not App. A as I said). Before that I was getting to the dashboard (fig. 4.8) OK. Do I need to add a login and/or password in the URL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartleySan Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I've never had that problem, but then again, I have never set a password for the root user in XAMPP. The following might help: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/673-phpmyadmin-access-denied-for-user-root-localhost The following might also help: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html If all else fails, back up the XAMPP files you want to keep, and the do a fresh install of XAMPP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
