Personal Server - values for phpMyAdmin (MySQL Host/username?)

[Aiden Rigby]

Hiya!

This one may require some explaining. I'm using a "normal" computer, a Compaq Presario SR1103WM to me exact. I just installed MySQL version 4.1.12a for Windows (32 bit), and i'm trying to get phpMyAdmin to work, in the config.inc.php file, around lines 77-86, it asks for the following:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'localhost'; // MySQL control user settings
// (this user must have read-only
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = ''; // access to the "mysql/user"
// and "mysql/db" tables).
// The controluser is also
// used for all relational
// features (pmadb)
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = ''; // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; // MySQL password (only needed
// with 'config' auth_type)
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'] = ''; // If set to a db-name, only
// this db is displayed in left frame
// It may also be an array of db-names, where sorting order is relevant.


I was wondering what or where I can find the values, i've tried every program that comes with my "MySQL" in the bin directory, and i've also tried to reinstall it various times. I've also checked other posts and they didn't help, so I was wondering exactically what these mean, and where I can find them. If you need any more information or if I didn't make something clear, then please say so!

Thanks in advance!
