Installed mysql & phpmyadmin. The latest versions. I didn't follow all the instruction to the tee because they are a little out dated for the new versions.
But I have the screen up when I type my ip phpmyadmin. When I installed mysql I didn't get the icon on my tray, but phpadmin says i'm running, it also sent me this warning"

Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole."

When I setup mysql it never asked me for a password. How come?

Thanx, Tom

trotter,

Just need to go into phpmyadmin and click on Privileges, than either give the root a password or make a new name (like what I did with mine) than set all the privileges to the new name and take them off of the root name, than, give the new name a password and push apply.

Make sure the settings take before you exit phpmyadmin.

trotter,
MySQL does not require a password if you're connecting as root.
As Ralph said above, you just set a password using phpMyAdmin.

BTW - This should not be in Tutorials. Moving to Database Issues.
