Yes I did a 'single install' for each of them as you said, I'll try both your advice and come back on this one anyway, it sounds promising! Many thanks

Thanks for the reply, no I have never installed MySQL before, first time getting into all this stuff. I am currently running Windows xp Home edition. Do you think a clean install of MySQL could do the trick?

Hello, I hope someone can help here. I am new to PHP and MySQL. I have recently installed PHP, Apache, MySQL successfully it seems. I am running Uniform Server to run them all which seems to be fine but when I open phpMyAdmin it gets a little hazey here. This is what I am getting: phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in config.inc.php and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server. Error MySQL said: #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Invalid hostname for server 2. Please review your configuration. Invalid hostname for server 3. Please review your configuration. Where does it want me to set the configuration? In phpMyAdmin or MySQL? How do I go about this? Any info would be great, ps remember I am new to all this and need these things spelling out to me until I fully come round to the OS school of thought. Thank Harley
