Sorry, what i posted is in regards to the window poofing. Missed your post regarding it was working but you get invalid user/pass.
I followed the guide for mine, and when I told winmysqladmin to make the password, it was still blank in mysql, which I found out by doing (from a command prompt in c:\mysql\bin) :
Code:
mysql -u username -p
The password was blank, not what I set it to. So I created a new user in mysql by doing
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO username@'%'
-> IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;
This created a new user called
username with a password of
somepassword which I then put in the ini file and it worked. You'll want to read up on the mysql documentation, because granting every db permission (drop, create, alter) isn't probably a good idea, but it did give me a working server with which i could then modify the privileges back down. I guess I could have delved further and corrected the password on the original account, but last time I messed with a mysql password on my linux box I hosed it hah. Anyway, hope that's your problem too, if not, sorry - tried =b
