Re: #1045 - Access denied for user 'Root'@'localhost' (using password: No)

After re-installing with the latest PHpMyInfo file, I used this copy of a configuration file to successfully setup MySq, Apache, and MyPhpAdmin.


Did you move the config.inc.php file where appropriate ? The setup script can be a problem. It took looking at another setup for me to figure out how to use it. Here a copy of a config file to make things easier, save it as config.inc.php in your phpMyAdmin folder (edit the root password first).
