Development server

[Eternal Designs]

I've downloaded and installed Apache 1.3.24, PHP 4.3.1, and MySQL 4.0.12.

When I use MySQL Control Center to connect to the server I can't connect unless I leave the password blank. This is the error I get in mysqlcc -- [Development Test Server] ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@127.0.0.1' (Using password: YES)

I tried using winmysqladmin first but there where no databases in the database tab nor was any of the fields populated in the environment tab.

I am using Windows XP Pro SP1 on my home pc so I can test scripts/sites locally before bothering with the remote server. Has anyone else seen this problem? Or lend any help.

Nevermind got that fixed. Now I have a new question. How do I create an alias/virtual directory in Apache 1.3.27?

Okay created an alisa in httpd.conf but when I try to access it it gives me an 403 Forbidden error. Also what to create an alias to and directory would I use alias or ScriptAlias?

Thanks

Got that last one ironed out too. Just needed to use alias instead of scriptAlias
