Dear Forum,
I just installed Xampp v3.1.0.3.1.0 and all running fine--except mySQL login error. I'm sure there must be a problem in config -- somewhere! -- I've checked httpd.conf....phpmyadm: config.inc.php .... mySQL: my.ini, my.cnf, my-large.ini....it's no wonder it's confused, or I guess,
I'm the one confused.
Anyhow the passwords all agree in the above mentioned config files.
There are two inconsistencies that I wish someone would explain: Apache CGI(working fine) wants "localhost" for server name.
MySQL does not recognize this, it wants--I think-- 127.0.0.1.
SECOND problem: the my.ini file wants user password, but there is no "user" specification under "[Client]" .... so does this mean
that the password is for "root"??
The documentation does not seem to address this , but when I try to login in as "root" that's when the above error occurs. If it does not want "root" then why no spec in my.ini for a username??
Appreciate any help and/or clarification.
Alan
