WAMP server wont allow access to PHPMyAdmin

Question

I'm trying to set up PHP on my laptop and I'm using the WAMPP server but when I try and go onto the PHPMyAdmin bit, it shows

You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server.

How would I get round this?

And on a side note, I'm trying to link MySQL workbench with PHP and I don't know how as I want to get a little website running on my laptop but when I go to register a new member, I get

Could not execute query

EDIT In the MySQL log it shows the following

Answer 1

It looks like you have 2 MYSQL Servers running.

When you installed MYSQL Workbench it has also installed another MYSQL Server. Both a re using port 3306. One MySQL Server instance is enough for anybody.

The MYSQL Server that came with Workbench is set to Automatically start on boot but WAMPServer only starts MYSQL Server when you start WAMPServer. So the one in WAMPServer is saying someone else has grabbed port 3306, I cannot start.

You only need one MYSQL Server to run 100's of databases, so I suggest you uninstall the MYSQL Server that came with WorkBench.

It may be easier to uninstall WorkBench completely. And then reinstall it, but without the MYSQL Server instance that comes with it.
