Cannot connect to mysql
Hi
Have just bought ECart 5 so need to learn how to work this in PHP. I always used ASP but figured I need to switch as you have dropped ASP. So I need to set up my first SQL database.
I have installed XAMP as per instructions on your site . If I hit the URL localhost - all is running properly , PHP info looks good etc etc
So my local testing server is set up. I set it to run as a service when Windows 7 starts
However when I go into Dreamweaver and open a PHP file - and then try to add a MySQL connection - I get stuck
I get a screen - and I am setting as follows. I am trying this with "root" and no password as I cannot get in wth anything and I gather this is the default User
Connection name : hair
MySql: localhost
User Name: root
Password:
Database
When I browse for the database - I am gettng MySQL Error#:1045
Access denied for user 'root'@localhost ( using password: NO )
Please can you help . I need to get the site done quickly and just need to get started
Thanks
John
