I tried to install Plogger on Xampp but the wizard says the Mysql password field is missing. Xampp does not use passwords, so was wondering how to get around this?
Not much of a big help, but I just wanted confirm I am running Plogger on xampp succesfully. Did you create a database? And supply the dn name, user, pass etc in the config of plogger? Is db host set to localhost?
Hi Hans, yes, I'm running localhost, dbname is plogger, and user is root. The install keeps asking for a mysql password but my Xampp setup does not use a password. Now I know you can setup a root password but, I wonder if that will change all the other installs? I have many, perhaps 20 programs in Xampp.
What do you mean with 'my xampp doesn't have a password' ? The password you should supply is the password of the DB you've created, not a xampp password. I didn't have to specify a root xampp or whatever password, only the password of the database user that I am using for Plogger.
When I installed Xampp, the instructions to make the Mysql db said the default install does not use a password, just the user name which is root and db name, I used plogger. (in phpmyadmin, there is only two entry windows, the collation and db name )
I have 20 other programs running in Xampp using this set up. There is no mysql password for any of them and none produced the password error except Plogger.
