Need help - local host setup

[Guest]

I am having a really tough time getting this local server up and running. Basically so far I have installed phpmyadmin on to my local webroot and installed mysql on to my desktop.

 

Now when I type in the url "http://localhost/phpMyAdmin-2.6.0-alpha2/index.php" I get the following login screen:

 

 

But when I try to login the page just times out. Is the username and password used here the ones that are setip in config.inc.php and matching my sql username and password?

 

Below is my config.ink file:

if (!isset($old_error_reporting)) {
   error_reporting(E_ALL);
   @ini_set('display_errors', '1');
}

Can anyone push me in right direction on this?

 

Thanks

Just login using 'root' - leave the password field blank - use exactly the same for your osCommerce installation.

Thanks, but that didn't work. I typed in root in the username and it tries opening page for several minutes and times out.

 

I've got winmysql open at time.

 

Any ideas?
