i have installed php and mysql database on my local machine. presently if i have to create, edit or drop tables i log into SQLyog and make these changes. however this can be accessed using a browser interface as i do this at work. when i access the url from the browser as = http://localhost/phpMyAdmin-2.8.2.1 i get the following error ============================================================= Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.8.2.1 Probably reason of this is that you did not create configuration file. You might want to use setup script to create one. Error MySQL said: #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) ============================================================= please advice how i can access the tables created using the browser instead of logging into SQLyog.
