I want to set the mySQL password. I spent the entire day yesterday trying to get xampp installed on my Windows XP2 machine that I use for testing purposes. Yesterday, I used the interface at http://localhost/ to change the passwords and after that was unable to log in to phpMyAdmin. I ended up completely removing xampp and reinstalling it. I am now a bit gunshy about using that interface to set the password, but need to have it set.
Any suggestions on setting in manually? Is it the config.ini.php file and if so which one? Before this one, I used IBServer and before that FoxServ, but both had mySQL gui's to easily, but manually set the mySQL passwords. I needed to go with xampp because I needed Perl and neither of the other two included that. Plus neither had the latest versions of PHP, mySQL or phpMyAdmin.
Additionally, does xampp set the mySQL and phpMyAdmin passwords to be the same. IE when I'm challenged when I click on phpMyAdmin, what is that challenge expecting. That may be where I was off yesterday. However, I wrote down all of my usernames and passwords and tried all combinations of those and could not get phpMyAdmin to accept anything.
Thanks...
