please help

I was unable to access the //localhost/phpmyadmin at the server
Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\Public\myweb\site3\catalog\includes\functions\database.php on line 16
Unable to connect to database server!

you might have localhost mapped to some other ip than 127.0.0.1. Look in your c:\windows\system32\etc\drivers\host file and see if everything is okay there. You should have a line with '127.0.0.1 localhost'

i do have iis turned on
and my host file is
# 1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

Did you set up a password to the root account? If so, go to \xampp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php and edit these lines:

Code: Select all

/* Authentication type and info */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']            = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']                 = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']             = 'password';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword']      = true;


replacing "password" with your actual password.
