Can't login to phpMyAdmin on a WAMP server running Windows 2008
- by Richard West
I am setting up a new server. I have installed Apache 2.2.17, PHP 5.3.3, MySQL 5.1.53 and phpMyAdmin 3.3.8 running on a Windows 2008 (32 bit) OS.
I have configured Apache and PHP so they appear to be working fine. I have created the standard test php page with the following code and everything appears to be working fine.
<?php
//index.php
phpinfo();
?>
I also see the mySQL and mySQLi section in the above webpage, so it appears that that I have the proper extensions loaded for mySQL access.
The problem that I am having centeres around myPHPAdmin. I have this installed and I can access to the login screen at http://localhost/pma
I login using "root" and the password I have setup for root. After a delay of 30 seconds or so the web page goes to a blank screen, and the url is now http://localhost/pma/index.php?token=
No error is ever displayed - however nothing usable is either.
I have confirmed that mySQL is running by going to the command line and logging into mySQL from there.
I have double checked my configuration but I am not having any luck getting this to work. I have also disabled the Windows firewall, but that did not change anything. I installed mySQL using the standard port 3306.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
