I'm trying to set them up using this guide:
http://www.webmasterstop.com/48-4.html
the first time I did this, it worked fine, and after a month, it stopped
working (Dreamweaver; no tables found all of a sudden), so I uninstalled
mysql + phpmyadmin and tried again.
when I load up localhost/phpAdmin on my comp it says: #1045 - Access denied
for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
I did edit the config file with root and password where appropriate, and
when I installed mysql I gave the password (which was "password").
why isn't it working?
