    pics too small to see error messages

    What i would do in that situation is not use a a password for accessing the database the default in easyphp is root and no password

    there is a warning at the bottom of the page
    If you set a new password for the 'root' user, you will not be able to access PhpMyAdmin anymore. You will need to re-configure PhpMyAdmin :

    Edit "phpmyadmin\config.inc.php"
    Set your new password ($cfgServers[$i] = 'newpassword')

    have you tried that?

    Warning on the XAMPP Control panel:
    WARN: This program must be run from your XAMPP root directory.

    Firefox:
    Unable to connect
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.

    you really need to answer my question or I will stop responding.

    is the file in the correct place in easyphp it was www

    also if you have another application using the port* at localhost ?



    *probably did not express that correctly I had oracle on my computer at some stage and it stopped easyphp working so I set it to stop starting up automatically.

    another problem was that the windows 7 has its own webserver application and it will prevent xamp from launching.

    Have a look at the config file and try to find the username and password.

    For a quickfix download easyphp and use that.

    Good night!

    This sounds like the problem I have seen myself after installing Teamviewer. Xampp and TeamViewer both use port 80 afaik.

    Try stopping any recently installed apps. You made need to stop the services of the applications, not just killing the processes in task manager.
