everyone. When I try to access phpMyAdmin on Uniform Server I get the following error messages:
" #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) "
" 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. "
The funny thing is my username and password are both set to "root" and I have changed the IP address in the httpd.conf file to my Unique IP adddress, so I still don't know what the problem is.
Could somebody please help me out? Any help would be much appreciated.
