1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO – phpmyadmin

[kmount]

I hate to ask the stupid question but if you rename that folder to "blah" I assume http://localhost/phpmyadmin does actually stop working?

Yes if i rename i rename, it no longer works

 

Thanks

Hmm...

 

I'm intrigued now. Rather than poking it extensively with the stick of no hope, is it possible to get FTP access to the box under a limited account or something to see what its playing at?

Hi

 

We don’t have FTP, this is only a test server and is not live on the net. If my site runs good on IIS i will put it on the main server. I don’t want to get stuck next time. When i migrate to the proper server can i just copy the whole folder over? Or should I just put the website on the test server and on the main one concentrate on getting everything up and running? Does that make sense?

 

Instead of FTP I can setup a VPN connection if you like?

 

Thanks for the help.

VPNs fine.

 

In theory, moving from one server to another is relatively straight forward, grab the files, grab a sql dump and off you go.

 

EDIT: (Or even RDP as I assume once I'm on the VPN I'll need to access the files somehow ...)

Yep that was the plan, when would you like to do it?

 

Thanks allot

Our firewall here won't allow us to vpn out so either this evening, or RDP if you have an external IP.
