Easy PHP 3.0 downloaded... Giving me headaches !! SOLVED

[polarbear6]

So now that my exams are over,my friend asked me to help him make a flash games site.
He asked me to make the login page and the comment boxes. So I thought I will use good ol' PHP for that !! So I uninstalled the older version of easy PHP I had and downloaded the latest(3). But now,when I try to connect to my SQL database,I get this error message.

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\www\test.php on line 10

So I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this ....

Damn easy PHP 2 was very flawless !!!

Please help me soon, cause I need to finish this code and upload it and even have to complete my homework....

I'm extremely sorry guys, I was just searching the net for this problem and found out that they actually changed the password for mysql in EASY PHP 3.
The password is 'mysql' !!

I'm extremly sorry for this unnecasary post !! I just found this out immediately after posting !!!

That is the first I have heard of easyphp. In the past for a quick testing/dev environment on windows I have always recommended xampp.

Well, if you want the link here it is.

Any ways I prefer easy php, cause you dont have to do any settings.
Just download it,install it, use it !!

Yea XAMPP is the same way now, just download and install. Instant apache, php, mysql, smtp setup. I'm sure they both work great. I'm just happy to know there are options.

Here is a perfect example of why we should NOT delete threads even if the OP found a solution.

easyPHP is new for me too. I've heard of the other option, but I'm going to look into this one as well.

Thanks ganesh1 !!

Oh yeah? I use UniServer myself, it's a great product for a portable testing environment! Figured I'd share that. 🙂
