 * Hi,
 * I seemed to have stuffed my Apache pretty well.
 * I haven’t used my localhost for my blog in a long time, and set up another blog
   on my local in the interim.
 * Somehow the blog login password was not the same as it is for my blog online.
   I tried all the various combos and nothing worked, so I went into the database
   to check it/change it.
 * Well, a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing came true. I saw that
   my root had no password and thought I might have changed it when I was trying
   to set up the other blog.
 * I set a password and that didn’t change anything. So I put it back to no password.
   Now I can’t get into phpMyAdmin at all. I get the following message:
 * > phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the
   > connection. You should check the host, username and password in config.inc.
   > php and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator
   > of the MySQL server.
   >  Error
   > MySQL said: Documentation
   >  #1045 – Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’(
   > using password: NO)
 * I checked around the web and the forums for a fix to problem, but everything 
   seems to require getting into phpMyAdmin, which appears to be a total impossibility
   at this point.
 * Any ideas? I’m ever-so-pleased that I understand this just enough to screw it
   up royally.
 * Cheers,
    Brie
