PHPmyadmin Problems

[idv]

Hi

I have installed MySQL and PHP and I am now trying to install PHPMyadmin 2.11.4 on Windows 2003.

When I browse to phpmyadmin/index.php

I receive the following error

Error
#2005 - Unknown MySQL server host 'http' (11004)

Any ideas on how to get around this ? I have created the config.inc.php file

Have yo set these to correct values in config.inc.php file?

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']

[idv]

In the config.inc.php file I have set the host, username and password

/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
/* Server parameters */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
/* Select mysqli if your server has it */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
/* User for advanced features */
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'password';

as you suggested and I now get

Error
#1045 - Access denied for user 'pma'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

when trying to log in using 'pma' for the username field and 'password' for the password field as I set in the config.inc.php file above.

Or does this have to match the root account set up in the mysql database? which I have also tried but with no success

Yes, you need to enter the user and password that you have set for MYSQL.

in user field set it to "root"

and enter the root password in password field.

if this does not work, it will mean that ur root password is not correct,

to change password, run MYSQL setup again, in setup, u will see a option to set root password
