Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi there..

I'm having a bit of trouble adding a database to my local web server.

When I access phpAdmin under tools on the startpage (http://localhost/xampp/) an error message shows...


--------------------------------------
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in config.inc.php and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

ERROR

MySQL said: Documentation
#1045 - Access denied for user 'pma'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
--------------------------------------

It looks like my password is wrong, but when i go to the config.inc.php and look for username and password they are root\\' ' and that should be the right ones...

thnx for any help guys

Morten Rønning

and look for username and password they are root\\' '

Look at the error message:

The passwort for the user "pma" is not correct in "config.inc.php" (according to the setting in the MySQL server).

haha... jiz! yea it worked now.. changed user to pma....

thnx alot

I'm having the same problem. How did you fix it? Everything is default and I haven't changed anything yet.

Are you joking or just stupid?
You reply a question on the answer

the server rejected the connection

this means mysql is not running. you need both apache and mysql running to access phpmyadmin
