If not, it's not the end of the world, as Joolma takes five minute to install anyway. Just my luck If there is an easier solution than re-installing Joolma 1.5.8, I'd be happy to hear from you.
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password no) xampp mac how to#
Now I got to figure out how to connect my Joolma 1.5.8 data base back after erasing it in phpmyadmin by accident. July 2008 19:31, edited 8 times in total. Now that you got your feet wet, follow this link for more security ideas (I recommend it): Well your all set, everything after re-starting Xampp should be activated and secure. On line 2: ("localhost", "root", "enter password here")) Then drag into folder - you will get a box asking you to authenticate, click Authenticate, then a box opens asking you if you want to replace file, click replaceģ. You may have to save this file to desktop after you make your changes. On line 34: $cfg = 'enter password here' Pay strict attention to the quotation marks - do not remove them - type exactly like listed below, -some are single quotes, some are doouble quotes-.Ĭhange line 64 to: if(!mysql_connect("localhost","root","enter password here"))Ģ. If you used the same password for each - it will be a breeze. Go to each of the following documents (open in simple text editor like TextEdit) and type in the same password you typed in at the terminal. (At one point it will ask about stopping mysql - you want to say yes here also - it will stop then restart it.)Īfter you go through all the security settings and add passwords, type exit at the command line and close the terminal. I did not use my Mac user password, but that's your call. That will take you through some security settings and ask for passwords - for the sake of not having to remember different passwords, I used the same for each. Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/mampp security Then it will print a small string of stuff, after the string, type in (Those of you who are new to the Terminal, as you type in passwords, the curser will not move don't think your not typing, you are.) Type it in, hit enter. It will then ask for your user password, the same one you use for your Mac. It will open at your user name: type in, sudo su ,then hit enter. It is located under applications/utilities/terminal , Security is always a big deal no matter what directory your in. Here is the answer that everyone seems to have been looking for as far as passwords are concerned - follow these steps and you should have no problems:Īfter you install, you will want to set passwords. This is mostly a how to, so just follow along. I'm placing this here mostly for the beginners, like myself, who have been having a heck of a time with the password issues and getting everything to run properly.
