Need Help configuring script.

[Danwest]

I'm running the latest version of XAMPP with Apache, MySQL etc.

I'm trying to add a script / database called Openauto.

From the phpMyAdmin I can see Openauto and the 13 tables. When I run the index.php file I get.

Fatal Error:

Unable to connect to the database at this time.

This would appear to be a password issue. The documentation for Openauto says.

* Login with default username and password and click "Edit Account" to set your email address. Next, change the default username and password. If you do not you run a risk of getting your site sacked.
* username == **admin**
* password == **password**

How do I log in to set this? When I run the "mysql.php" file that came with XAMPP it simply returns an "OK".

I know you guys aren't here to support running stuff outside of XAMPP. I'm trying to figure out how to login as suggested. I have tried deleting the .htaccess file in the Openauto directory and that didn't make a difference.

I noticed the mysql_config.pl in the C:\xampp\mysql\scripts directory but isn't that for connecting to MySQL, I don't believe it has anything to do with the configuration of users and passwords for Openauto.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

The documentation for Openauto says.

Only if you installed OpenAuto manually (which is a pain and a real bad idea). Why didn't you use installer script instead?

I read the install.txt, it didn't say that "C:\xampp\htdocs\openauto\install\index.php" was an installation script so I missed that.

Thanks for pointing it out.
