I am not able to connect to http://localhost/mysql I have installed easy PHP but the red dot in the system tray doesnt blink. I have followed all the steps that were needed to setup PHP. PHP scripts are working but i m not able to do anything with MySQL. Help appreciated..

How did you install this. I'm guessing you also installed apache. The easiest way to install all that stuff is to use WAMP http://www.wampserver.com/en/ Which install apache, php and mysql Good luck Midland Website Hosting

I installed normal easy PHP setup I had some problem with sql server and it wasn't working but later on i made it work. Now if I see the log files for mysql then it says Plugin "federated" failed. I am not much aware of this thing. I even tried using wamp server but when I try running my sql statements like connecting to database it gives an error. Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'test1'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in C:\wamp\www\dbtest.php on line 6 Error connecting to mysql This is what get if I use wamp server. If anybody has solved the problem please help. Thanks in advance.

If you've got the command line client or administrator tool, login as the root user (admin account) and try GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON your_database_name.* TO 'test1'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_password_if you_want_one' WITH GRANT OPTION; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON your_database_name.* TO 'test1'@'*' IDENTIFIED BY 'some_password_if you_want_one' WITH GRANT OPTION; The first line *should* create an account with full access rights for user1 when connecting from localhost The second line *should* allow full access rights to user1 when connecting from another domain. If you wish access to all databases, then replace your_data_base_name.* to just *.* You can *probably* do the same thing from a php script as well... just make it a query. connect as the admin. mysql_connect(...) mysql_query("grant all privileges on *.* to 'test1'@'localhost' with grant option;") or die(mysql_error()); Something like that.

Thanks I got it working!! on wamp server. I made a mistake where the username is asked we are supposed to put root by default. But I m still looking for fixing up the easy php thing. Easy PHP 5.3.0 doesn't have internal support for mysql. Anyway thanks a lot for the help. I will post the reply once I get the solution for Easy PHP.

You have more easier tools like xamp. You can find lot of freelance worker here who generally preffer to use XAMP rather than others. http://www.freelance4free.com
