WAMP and WAPP

Greetings,

I have WAPP installed, up and running great, but I also need a MySQL server. My first thought was to just install MySQL on it’s own, but it kept getting hung up in installation, so I thought “ok, I will just run a WAMP too”. Didn’t seem like it’d be a big deal. I’ll just have two localhost links basically, one for port 80 and one for port whatever else (I chose 81). It works great… almost… When I do a mysql_connect with ‘localhost’ and my username and password it does throw any errors until I try to query a table I set up in the database, “supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource”

So the server works, I can access the files from 127.0.0.1:81, but whenever I try to query against the db it says it’s an invalid resource, but when I run the same query in phpMyAdmin, it works fine.

Am I missing something?

Sorry if this seems choppy, I’m heading out from work right now and just wanted to post this quick in case it’s an easy “gotcha.” If not I will be home later to post more details.

Thanks in advance,
dug

new development, if I just use the root user and initial password from setup, it works fine… so it must be something with the way I’m setting up my new user in phpMyAdmin…

hmmm yeah, I guess that was it.. I got it working just by adding a user with access to 127.0.01, localhost, and % (was just % before but didn’t seem to like it)
