Hi.
I'm I right you asked for to set host, username and password in config file?
I assume you're using the latest XAMPP for Windows 1.7.3 !!?

The username and password you have already posted here -> so there is where to set a username and password.
What I'm wondering about, you have no hostname posted -> the post does not even contain the whole content of config..

But its quite easy -> just add $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '[YOUR HOST]'; between auth_type and user.


best regards

I got asked for a password, typed it in and it stopped working. Please Help!

[JonB]

well, did you start MySQL first?

[Sharley]

Code: Select all

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';

Change 'config' to 'cookie' and remove the password you added.

Save the file and restart MySQL.

To test try and access http://localhost/phpmyadmin again by adding root as the user and no password.

If it allows access then to set a password go to http://localhost and select the Security option.

Full instruction in the readme_en.txt file in the xampp folder under the Security heading.

Good luck
