What should i do to fix it? Also i want my mysql to be local.So should i change the? Code: bind-address = 127.0.0.1 And finaly how can i run the phpmyadmin.I have install it but i don't know how to run it. Please help me
Please try Code: mysqladmin -u root password yourpassword instead. No, don't change it. Try http://1.2.3.4/phpmyadmin/ (replace 1.2.3.4 with the server's IP address or hostname).
