phpmyadmin problem

Post by aravona »

I cant access my phpmyadmin to export my databases. I'm using WAMP.

Everything works fine, i can connect to databases / modify them but only through mySQL console but phpmyadmin is being odd saying:

Cannot connect: invalid settings.
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

And yet, as far as I can tell, everything is just standard. Localhost, root, and nothing :S Any help would be nice I wanna access / export my database etc....

you're probably not connecting to your database at all.

Check out this link to learn how to test your connection. http://www.tizag.com/mysqlTutorial/mysqlconnection.php

You're right, I completely missed that! :roll:

You could try installing phpMyAdmin. You could have a config file that's messed up and it would take forever to locate. Alternatively, you could try MySQL Workbench.
