MyPhpadmin ERROR - Very frustrating

No matter what I do specify during the install the phpmyadmin refuses to login.

I’ve opened the my.ini to check the pw and it’s correct. I’ve added a user user the apache htpassw… and can login but can’t assign DB to a user. When I test my scripts I get access permissions.

I really like the WAMP stack but I MUST be able to login the MySQL as root and can’t. Any ideas?

Hi,

Could you try to login in the database from the command line? Start the use_wampstack command prompt from the Start Menu and run the following command:

mysql -u root -p

And use the same password that you set during the installation.

Same Problem with Ruby and Redmine Stack.
login from the commandline is possible

edit:

username is not root!
username: administrator
password: the passwort you’ve set

Are you accessing to phpmyadmin from the same mache where you installed the Stack: http://127.0.0.1:8080/phpmyadmin ?
What is the exact error?

Hi!
I got the same exactly problem: phpMyAdmin doesn’t recognize the password saved in my.ini . It responds with 401 error. The command line login (mysql -u root -p) works, so mySQL recognizes the password, but phpMyAdmin rejects it.

I found the solution: user name for phpMyAdmin has to be “administrator”, not “root”
