I know this is loaded questions and info here but dont know how else to explain....
I installed XAMPP on my Windows 8 64 Bit machine...Well I unzipped the files to c root drive
I ran the controller and started Apache, MySQL etc.
I was able to login as Root user
I added Security on my installs with a user and password
I tried to create a user (PHPMyAdmin page) and give it full permissions with a password but cant seem to login in from the PHPMyAdmin page, only with the Root user????
Logged in as the Root User I was able to create a new database.
I am a bit confused on where to go next....I want to use Dreamweaver and create a test php website that allows the user to login in against a users table in MySQL, and then access some data from a table that houses other test records. I did this in IIS and a couple minutes but dont have IIS on this computer as why I installed XAMPP.
Do I have to use the root htdocs folder to start creating my WebSite? In IIS I was able to create a new website folder to house my php pages, CSS, and images and point IIS to this folder. Seems the htdocs folder will only house one database. If Apache is running and MySql is running, where do I go from here? Create a new site in dreamweaver and point to the Apache server?
Trying to see the large picture here. I have a Server running (apache), I have a MySQL instance running. How do I tie it all together with dreamweaver?
Thanks
