Folks.
Sorry to bother you with this. I am very new to this and am trying to pick up new skills.
Here is the deal.
I have a USB thumbdrive that I have loaded with apache, mysql, and PHP, downloading the latest package from XAMPP yesterday. I apparently have loaded everything right and am able to get the test pages to work correctly. So, I decided to try and get a little bit more into this by downloading a free recipe script (PHP). After unzipping it, I removed everything from the htdocs folder and then moved the recipe script contents into it. So far, so good.
Next I started the XAMPP control panel and got both Apache and Mysql running. Ok, I then went to
http://localhost/ and the install form came up. Here is what I put in for the Installation Options
Hostname (for Database Server) localhost
Username (for Database) root
Password (for Database)
Database name (for Database) root_recipes
Admin Username (to create Database) wampp
Admin Password (to create Database) xampp
When I try to go ahead I get the following:
Connecting to Database server...
Using hostname(localhost) GOOD
Using Username(wampp) GOOD
Using Password(xampp) GOOD
Checking Connection to database server as admin FAIL --Could not connect to database server
Checking Creating database POSSIBLE PROBLEM --Error creating database (Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO))
Checking Connection to database server as user GOOD
I am just learning so I am not sure what to do next. In reading the comments to this string, I see that people are making changes to files -- which ones????
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
