 * Hi,
 * I installed Wamp and created a password for the MySQL database. In doing so the
   breaks the myPHPAdmin link UNLESS I apply a password to that as well.
 * In attempting to apply a password to myPHPAdmin I follow the steps below but 
   still get nothing :/ Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong?
 * 1. Go to Apps dir > myphpadmin folder > config.inc
    2. in config.inc I have the
   following:
 * /* Authentication type */
    $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘auth_type’] = ‘cookie’; /* Server
   parameters */ $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘host’] = ‘localhost’; $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘
   connect_type’] = ‘tcp’; $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘compress’] = false; /* Select mysql
   if your server does not have mysqli */ $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘extension’] = ‘mysqli’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘AllowNoPassword’] = false;
 * THIS did not work despite forum #1 I read so I tried this (adding password line):
 * /* Authentication type */
    $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘auth_type’] = ‘cookie’; /* Server
   parameters */ $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘host’] = ‘localhost’; $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘
   connect_type’] = ‘tcp’; $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘compress’] = false; /* Select mysql
   if your server does not have mysqli */ $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘extension’] = ‘mysqli’;
   $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘password’] = ‘myactualpassword212’; $cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘
   AllowNoPassword’] = false;
 * Any help is greatly appreciated 🙂
