datasoftict, one more question. After you get rid of Xampp, did you make any connection between the database and wordprss. Cos I have a problem. When I use Windows command prompt and typed,
C:\Program files\Mysql\Mysql Server 5.5\Mysql

It says Error 1045 <28000>: Access Denied for user ‘ODBC’@ Localhost'<using password:……

What do you think?

I appreciate your help.

In my server with Xampp, I just double click the Xampp and click “admin” on MySql. Then, I can go to phpmyadmin without a password.

Thanks t-p.

datasoftict,

I mean if I create a password for the new one(phpmyadmin). Would it affect the blog(database) running? Is there any program running depends on the password? or just control to access phpmyadmin?

Thanks.

I still have some questions.

1. There is no password for phpmyadmin in Xampp, but now I have to create a (root)password for phpmyadmin. Will that be ok?

2. I have a sql file that exceeds 2Mb. I’ve already split it into
two files. Then, I imported them in phpmyadmin and failed. Is there anything I missed? I was wondering how phpmyadmin merge the two files if I import them successfully.

I appreciate your help.

molnarm,

you are the man. Thanks a lot…

oh…I didn’t type “http//” on the second entry.

You’re the man, ClaytonJames. I appreciate your help.

I’ve already add the entries on the host file, but no luck. I still can’t login to admin (wordpress). When I type the domain name on a browser, I can visit my blog(wordpress). I forgot to mention that I’m using xampp + wordpress 3.0.1 + Win xp

In a host file my entries are following:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 https://www.fed.cuhk.edu.hk
127.0.0.1 mydomainname.fed.cuhk.edu.hk

Is there anything wrong or missed? Thank you so much…

Thanks a lot, Clayton James
but I’ve no idea what a host file is. I was wondering where I can get the host file. Thanks! Please help.

Thanks a million, ClaytonJames

A. Yes, I got the domain eg. sample.yahoo.com.hk Do I have to put “//” before the domain?

B. Yes, I have a static ip

C. Yes, I have someone to assign the ip to my domain in DNS server, so people from outside can use the domain name to browse my blog.

D. I have a question here. You say, “…unless you add the domain to the servers host list to allow resolution to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) from the servers browser”
How to do it?
Thank you
