sorry if this question is too basic, I'm pretty new on web development.
I've just installed xampp and works seamlessly.
Playing a little with the control panel I went to MySql Admin; then the phpMyAdmin poped up. Among other things a text displayed the following message:
- Code: Select all
Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole by setting a password for user '.root'.
I then edited the root privileges of root user, scroll down to the change password section, clicked on password, typed a password of my choice, re-typed it and clicked on the go button. Less than a second afterwards, there was a message saying the password had been changed correctly, offering one button to edit and another to create php code, none of which I did.
Until here, no problem. However, when I tried to admin again MySql, there was an error message saying the following:
- Code: Select all
MySQL said:
Documentation #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
What am I doing wrong? What am I missing? I would appreciate any helping hand with the issue.
Thanks,
