Hi
Got a new computer and running Vista. I've installed XAMPP 1.6.5 but, while I can run Apache fine and MySQL *seems* to start, I just can't connect to it. I get this message:
============
The connection to the database server could not be established.
The error message of the database server:
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
============
When I start the XAMPP interfact from localhost it tells me that:
============
A MySQL server is not running, or blocked by a firewall
============
whether or not I have a firewall running.
I've read several posts and tried uninstalling and re-installing, but no luck.
I'm so disappointed, this used to work so well on my XP machine.
Please can someone help?
