Port Issue Mysql wont connect

[bobe1997]

Please help. I installed xampp and followed directions. I ended up installing twice. Changed the port because 80 wasnt working so now I have to use localhost:8080. Ok all is working except when I try to add a database I get the error No Privileges. I have been looking for hours to fix this. Can anyone help? Also I have checked host and it is fine. No hash.

Is the problem you can't connect or that you cannot create a database?

I can log into myphpadmin but can not create a database. I gave the other information because didnt know if by me changing the ports if that had anything to do with it.

which user do you use to login to phpmyadmin? or will you be autologgedin?

I set up my user but I have tried them all and I still get the same error. I just reinstalled xampp again and this time I did not set up anything. I am logging in under the root and that works. Cant figure out why its not working when I go in and set up my own user account.

You are the only person who can know the answer.
If you create a new user, you can specify which permissions the user gets. If the global permission for creating databases is missing, then the user can't create any databases.
