![]() ![]() The first time I did this, it was early on in my WampServer use on that particular computer, I had not made a lot of configuration changes, so I just re-installed WampServer to fix the problem. WRONG, there is no login screen in phpMyAdmin. Well, you just put in a password, you think, since you know the password, you can just put in the root username and the password and your all set. WRONG! Problem Alert! Instantly, you're not granted access to phpMyAdmin. In this case, you open a database in phpMyAdmin, click on the "Privileges" tab, edit the root user, and put a password in, save it, and your good to go. What do you do with "nag screens?"

WebGrind is a Xdebug web profiling tool, SQLBuddy is a database editing tool similar to phpMyAdmin. One of the nice things about WampServer is it installs several applications with the installation of WampServer that work well together, that includes: SQLBuddy, webGrind, and phpMyAdmin. ![]() I've been using it for years and know most of its quirks, and the undocumented, how to set up Virtual Hosts to show in the WampServer start screen, see my article on: Multiple Virtual Hosts in WampServer. ![]() I use WampServer on Windows to do my local web development. Under the category of been there and done that, I present everyone with a problem that needs fixing in phpMyAdmin, and how to get around it. ![]()
