Please help--

Could someone please help me out on the following problem:

Each time I try to open PhpMyAdmin I get this error message:

MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)

1. What I would like to know is how can I get rid of the above error?

2. How can I have a pop up window come up each time a user tries to look at PhpMyadmin?

I'm using Windows 2000 Professional and running Apache.

I would really appreciate your help.
Thankyou so much in advance

dunno if u solved the problem yet,

in the connection provide the password, but keep it blank since u don't want to use a password.

I had same error when i wanted to connect to my database without using a password, when i putted a blank password it was ok.

it depends on how u make the connection, but make sure there is an field for password even that it is an empty 1.

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root","");
mysql_select_db("ur database",$db);

hope this will solve the error

for the popup... i cannot help u.. i think that's very hard to do.. could think of some theories, but 🙂 no clue how to implement those so i won't start about that

what do you want the pop to do/say? how should it be activated, via javascript or are you looking for a http-authentication type box?

the way to do this is to create a link to phpmyadmin, but link it to another page that has code to write the js function to pop up a new window or box, have the user deal with it and then pass them to the page with the phpmyadmin
