setting up phpMyAdmin with WAMP server

Question

I got phpmyadmin to log on, and followed this link . Now the problem is that I wrote php code for accessing a database and reading data from the tables using a sql query but it fails to find the database I created using mysql command line console. However, it can find the database I created using the phpmyadmin. Why is that?

Answer 1

Several things could be the case here:

• Have you set the blowfish secret?

   $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '7hfs97fs4fs847'; 

• Have you set the auth config parameter?

   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; 

• Tried logging in with a blank password?

   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; 

• reset the root password for MySQL?

   mysql>use mysql; mysql>update user set Password=PASSWORD('NewPass') where User='root'; mysql> flush privileges; mysql>exit 

Let me know if one of these solution helped you.

Answer 2

Read the official documentation, you`ll have to setup some other variables too: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/Documentation.html#setup

For example: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
