Hi all
I just recently installed Apache 2.0, PHP 4, and MySQL 4. I've got the Apache server with PHP running great, and I've got MySQL running good too, even created some tables with data.
I have a question about how you originally login. For some reason, when I try to login as root it says something about no password. I've tried setting the root password and it seems to work but it won't let me log in as root@localhost. Thus, when I create a MySQL connection with PHP, it won't connect, because you need to specify a username and password, and I don't appear to have any.
any help would be great.
