Hey all,
I tried setting a password for all of my XAMPP stuff. I made up a password with a '~' character in it and for some reason phpMyAdmin couldn't connect to the MySQL database. Very weird. When I set it to a password that didn't have the '~', it still couldn't connect. I proceeded to just leave the password field blank and clicked the button to login and... it logged in! That doesn't make any sense.
Another issue that I have is the fact that after I logged in... I couldn't create a table in phpMyAdmin in my database. That doesn't make any sense either. It said that I didn't have any privileges setup. My username is lampp, which is the default and _should_ have complete admin privileges, correct?
