Wamp wamp wamp - can't get wamp to run

[mw4kids]

yeah...tried Notepad and dreamweaver and none of them worked. Does seem like a syntax error though. I may have to uninstall and reinstall one more time and see how it goes.

THANK YOU!

this is my last shot...

When I try to access my phpmyadmin I get error:

Error

MySQL said: Documentation
#2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
when i look this up, it is telling me

Error: 1061 SQLSTATE: 42000 (ER_DUP_KEYNAME)

Message: Duplicate key name '%s'


Here is the config.inc.php I had made changes to:

/* Servers configuration */
$i = 0;

/* Server: localhost [1] */
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'xxxxxx';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = true;

/* End of servers configuration */

$cfg['DefaultLang'] = 'en-utf-8';
$cfg['ServerDefault'] = 1;
$cfg['UploadDir'] = '';
$cfg['SaveDir'] = '';

FYI. when i reinstalled the program it completely skipped the step of me logging into phpmyAdmin and adding a password.

I hope this is fixable

I forgot to take off my firewall, but when i did I got this error:

MySQL said: Documentation
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

I'm in now...all i did was delete the password from my config.inc.php file. not sure how this all worked out, though...

Did you set up correct privileges in phpMyAdmin first, before making any changes to config.inc.php? Check that the privileges are for user "root", host "localhost", and password matches. If you haven't set up privileges, reset config.inc.php to default values and try accessing phpMyAdmin again.

Edit: Okay, glad to hear it's now working.

not sure how this all worked out, though...

I think all that happened was you did the steps in the wrong order. You need privileges set up first before altering config.inc.php.

It's really embarrassing to keep asking for help...but I got this far and don't want to quit now.

As per the instructions, after i created a new user 'zencart' under 'local host' and created a database and then proceeded to extract zencart files to c:\\wamp\www\zencart and changed the two dist-config files to config files: (and made sure all services were running)

I get a 404 not found

The requested URL /zc_install/index.php was not found on this server.

help

[Steven300]

Try this url:
http://localhost/zencart/zc_install/index.php

[mw4kids]
