Topic: mysql management, phpmyadmin turns blank pages

[keneso]

Hi

I am trying to use a local wamp, I followed the instructions at

http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=2394

after some errors by windows services regarding Apache and MySql start, I got to the point that Apache, and MySql services are running, when going to browser I also see the phpinfo page, and of course other html pages.

I don't know how to create, and manage databases, and tables in MySql

I tried different times the phpMyAdmin, but first, I get a blank page by going to localhost/phpmyadmin, and secondly I get the directories list when going to other directories, and blank pages; I don't find the scripts directory mentioned in the thread, and when going to phpmyadmin/setup I get the list of files, and directories, and if I try phpmyadmin/setup/index.php I get blank page.

In other words I don't know how to manage MySql (users, passwords, databases, and tables).

Thank you

I had not enabled extension=php_mbstring.dll, now I did, and when I click index.php it displays the login screen.

Now I have to find out how to log in, I tried root and the password I have set as
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'mypass';
and get:
#1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server

Thank you

For some reason it redesplays the blank page again ...

Any idea is welcome.

Thanks.

You enabled the php error log in your php.ini?

[keneso]

In php.ini it is set to on:
log_errors = On

Problem is I don't know how to interpret it.

You can post the error log to paste bin and post here the link so we can take a look at it.
