I've installed XAMPP for Mac OS 10.4 on my Mac.
Everything installed fine the first time around. I was able to serve the custom XAMPP web pages, check status, security, PhpInfo and also
PhpMyAdmin.

But I ran into a problem when I created security passwords from my Terminal command line. The system accepted the passwords fine and the status pages reflected the changes. But I could no longer access the
PhpMyAdmin screen. Instead I just got an error messagesaying PhpMyAdmin could not access MySQL.

Has anyone encountered this? I know about the config.inc.php file but I haven't had much experience modifying it and I'm reluctant to change anything yet.

Thanks!

auth_types other than "config" will ask you for the (new) credentials on the login screen ...
