Re: RESOLVED: Re: server service or the configuration file could not be found

[C WDD]

Also, this may be a solution if you're using WAMP Server 2.0 (or similar)

From your MySQL Administrator Authentication window hold on the "ctrl" key to change the cancel button to "skip". Under Service Control Menu select the configure service tab and you'll notice that the directory of your config file is with red font, it means that the config file were not found. Since you are using wamp, you should use WAMP's config file instead of my.cnf and you can find it inside your wamp folder named "wampmanager.conf".

Upon correcting the config file directory you should start your wamp server and try to reconnect using your MySQL Administrator. I hope this helps you.
