Before I installed this on my XP machine I successfully installed it on a Vista. I was surprised at this problem and have spent many hours on it.
Xampp on the main install page ...GULP... fought hours of battles with the initial install test page showing MySql Database showing deactivated now it is showing activated!
But I cannot access phpMyAdmin! Error message: "MySQL said: #1130 - Host 'localhost' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server".
The phpMyAdmin directory lives in C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin
but since I cannot access it (to my knowledge) from the browser I copied it to the htdocs area where I get the error message.
How do I access phpMyAdmin from Windows XP using localhost or 127.0.0.1? Connections to phpMyAdmin will not accept localhost.
Have tried command line access to mysql as well and it boots me out saying it does not accept localhost.
Thank you!
