Problem with password in phpMyAdmin log in window
Posted: 10. February 2013 04:30
Hello Apache Friends,
I am not an expert at all in computer matters, and even less in XAMPP.
I have installed XAMPP 1.8.1 and have Apache and MySQL running in the XAMPP control panel.
For that, I had to change the ports for Apache and MySQL. I used respectively these solutions:
http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?p=51971
http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=52065&hilit=error+2002
The URL then became: http://localhost:8080/
I could then access phpMyAdmin home page directly, without any previous log in page. So, at this point, I did not enter or create any username or password.
Before going any further, I proceeded to create a password because there was a red message at the bottom saying that 'root' user had no password.
I used the XAMPP security tool and the link: http://localhost/security/xamppsecurity.php
After that, when trying to access phpMyAdmin, the log in page appears, but the password does not work. I get this message in the phpMyAdmin log in window:
#2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
Then, I executed the resetroot.bat file... Still same problem...
Now, I do not know what else to do, and I need some help...
Thanks in advance.
