I tried running XAMPP 5.6.15 but couldn't get the MySQL database to start. So, I uninstalled and went to a previous version, 5.5.30. MySQL Database says it's started now but when I try to create a database, I get the following error:
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database
I'm running OS X 10.11.3
So, how can I give myself access? I'm the only user on the Mac in question. I've done various web searches but none of the answers have worked. Thanks.
