Password for CD Database

Password for CD Database

Postby xfsgpr » 20. August 2009 21:56

I have installed the latest version of XAMPP and everything works fine as explained in Adobe Website. However, I want to see if the sample database for Cd Collection is of any use for me. How do I access it?

When I try to connect via the menu on the left side, I am getting the following error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\cds.php on line 64

Could not connect to database!
Is MySQL running or did you change the password?

I have looked at Line 64 and it says:

Code: Select all
if(!mysql_connect("localhost","root",""))
   {
      echo "<h2>".$TEXT['cds-error']."</h2>";
      die();
   }
   mysql_select_db("cdcol");
?>


How do I change this so that it allows me to get in?

Thank you.

Extend this line

if(!mysql_connect("localhost","root",""))


with the MySQL-Password, you set for mysql-root-user.

Something like
if(!mysql_connect("localhost","root","password"))
