Error
MySQL said:

#1045 – Access denied for user ‘root’@'localhost’ (using password: NO)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
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.

The post is a couple of years old now. They’ve probably made some changes to the install process. I should think about updating it at some point.

Hi Hendy,

I’m going to need a little more information, and I can’t promise I’ll be able to help you find the answer either.
- what is the PHP file supposed to do?
- did you set up a password at all during the installation process or with MySQL? You might need to uninstall and then reinstall XAMPP to make sure
- why do you need a MySQL database? Is this related to the PHP file?

Thanks

Shane

#1045 – Access denied for user ‘root’@'localhost’ (using password: NO)

What should I do? Please……………………. helpppppppppppppppp!!!
