phpMyAdmin won't start

Postby michalaniol » 04. May 2010 19:07

Hello everyone,

After having installed XAMPP 1.7.3 I tried to start phpMyAdmin. Unfortunately, I got the following message:
"#2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10022)".
Another message says (more or less) that the connection for the control user defined in the configuration file did not succeed.
Can anyone help me solve this problem?

What's more: when I click "Status" on the left menu of the XAMPP window, it says that all the components are deactivated.
This doesn't seem to be OK, does it?

Thanks in advance to everyone.

Do you used the xampp security page to change the passwords?
the phpmyadmin control user (pma) has a password (root too).
define your defined passwords in the phpmyadmin config.inc.php file.
We don't provide any support via personal channels like PM, email, Skype, TeamViewer!

It's like porn for programmers 8)

I found the file you are talking about.
There is a section like this in it:

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

Do you mean I should change the fourth line to look like this:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'root';
?

Sorry, but how can I use the 'Security' page to change passwords? Could you please explain that to me?

Thank you.

OK, I've just managed to find the solution of the problem I've been tracking down for three days now. :)
However, I am a little bit ashamed as it turned out not to be complex at all.

Well, my Firewall has been blocking "HTTPD.EXE" application ("Apache HTTP Server") but I found that only when I checked the Firewall's diary and saw numerous records saying "Block everything".

Anyway, thank you for your assistance.
