Greyhound2004 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Good morning all, I am making progress in my quest to restore a working version of my site to my home PC via a webserver. When trying to run phpmyadmin I get the following error message. I'm not really understanding what this is telling me. Is it telling me that it is expecting to find myphpadmin5.2.3 on my C drive? Its not its on I drive. Is this a config error? I had to change port setting but now the Wamp icon is green and services are running.

Greyhound2004 Posted January 10 Author Report Share Posted January 10 Good afternoon to all following this thread. I have re-installed wampserver which now connects and has a geen Icon. If i navigate to the location wamp64>www>serlefamilyhistoryTNG12>readme.html The setup page displays. I'm trying to connect to the database. From the TNG specs for TNG12 it seems that the lates version of PHP that is supported is PHP7.2. Looking at the PHP verions available the earliest version installed is 8.0.30. How do i solve this? Can i installan earier version? Is this the likely reason why I cant set permissions or connect to the database? Any help appreciated.

Ken Roy Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 @Greyhound2004 Download the correct software from https://wampserver.aviatechno.net/?lang=en as shown in the TNG Wiki for WampServer download which provides multiple PHP versions and also tools to verify that you have the correct Visual C++ redistribution installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhound2004 Posted January 11 Author Report Share Posted January 11 Hi Ken thanks for the pointer. The earlier PHP versions are not part of the Wampserver package download but they are available on the dowload page you specify. You then add them to Wampserver as plugin. All installed and showing in the list of available versions. Just need to set the version. Once again thanks for the pointer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhound2004 Posted January 11 Author Report Share Posted January 11 Still unable to connect to the database from TNG. The database that I set up is on maria 11.4.9 I'm wondering if this actually needs to be mySQL8.4.7? What is the difference between mySQL and Maria I got the impression it was a direct replacement.

Greyhound2004 Posted Monday at 05:18 PM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 05:18 PM Good afternoon all, I'm stuck on this and cant get past it. I can open the readme.html page and searching other posts it seems that if the page hangs when its trying to write to the database (Blue text message "Please wait, attempting to process......") this is indicative of a permissions issue. The strange thing is that when the\ database is created I can access it for the 1st time. How can I change the permissions? Is there a solution to this? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOGGS Posted Monday at 08:48 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:48 PM When you installed MySQL/Maria, didn't you create a password for 'root'? That's key to the whole system (and that password is need in the TNG config). The fact that you got to the phpMyAdmin logon is a good sign for the other stuff; webserver is running, PHP is working...

Greyhound2004 Posted Tuesday at 05:34 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:34 PM Hi Goggs, Thanks for the reply. So I uninstalled the entire wampserver install and re-installed from scratch. I set up alternative ports for Apache and mySQL. I have a green Wamp I con and the check state of services is all good. My understanding is that the next step is to create a blank database using Database Management> PHPmyAdmin. I used user=root and\a blank password. It is at that point that i get the error. It doesnt actually create the database. Anybody any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOGGS Posted Tuesday at 10:02 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 10:02 PM Don't use a blank password... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhound2004 Posted Thursday at 02:02 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:02 PM I cannot create a database at all. Whatever I try I get the same error message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted Friday at 02:47 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 02:47 AM Let us go back a step. Have you logged into php MyAdmin which is probably http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php?route=/ ? If no changes have been made you use 'root' and no password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
