I have just installed XAMPP I think v3.2.1 from the control panel but it is not clear.
I have installed in a VM under VirtualBox Windows 7 Host and Guest.
I want to use phpMyAdmin but get error message when I try to start it :-
1.
The phpMyAdmin configuration storage is not completely configured, some extended features have been deactivated. To find out why click here.
The content of the 'here' is all gobbled gook to me. What am I supposed to do with it?
2.
Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole by setting a password for user 'root'.
I have some idea about 'root' being associated with Linux or Unix but it means nothing to me as a Windows user.
What gives?
