    Problem fixed and PhpMyAdmin is working perfectly well. The reason for the problem was both PHP and Windows 7.

    The 'hosts' file present in Windows 7 at location "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" has the line containing localhost commented. I am not part of Windows team but my feeling is that 'localhost' also gets resolved from DNS.

    And PHP MySQL driver was not able to connect to MySQL server with localhost getting resolved from DNS. I don't have any clue why.

    Solution was to edit the 'hosts' file and uncomment the line containing localhost. That's it and PhpMyAdmin was happy and connected.

    And by the way, though the problem involved Windows 7 as well as PHP, I do not think that the solution lies in WINDOWS7. Because replacing PHP5.3.1 with PHP5.2.11 makes phpMyAdmin work perfectly without any changes to the 'hosts' file. This is something which should be looked by PHP MySQL driver team.

    Thanks Howman for working patiently on this and allowing me to connect to your machine.

    Hi,

    Joomla at least for me has compatibility problem with PHP 5.3.1. Please first try Joomla with PHP 5.2.11 which works for me perfectly.

    We need to hear completely from Joomla that they work completely on PHP5.3.1 before trying to move to PHP5.3.1.

    Thanks,

    Don.

    Thats true but they fixed that in verion 1.5.15 which is offierd with wpi

    and that error also comes up with MyBB 1.4.10 which is compatable with php 5.3.1

    and if i do it manuly with php 5.3.1 it will work

    Hi,

    Forget Joomla, is a simple PHP file working properly? I mean a simple file like:

    <?php
    phpinfo();
    ?>

    Does the above work?

    If PHP has been installed properly using the MSI, the binaries are exactly same and there should not be any difference in the functionality.

    Thanks,

    Don.

    Hi,

    So if I am correct, you are saying that the PHP binaries when installed from PHP MSI and the one installed from Zip file are behaving differently. I hope you are consistent using either TS/NTS as well as VC6/VC9 binaries for both the installation. This means if you have use PHP5.3.1 VC9 NTS MSI, you are comparing it with PHP 5.3.1 VC9 NTS Zip file instllation and you are getting different results. This is highly unlikely. However if this is the case I would like you to file bug at http://bugs.php.net against the PHP installer code.

    Thanks,

    Don.

    Hi,

    One more thing to keep and eye on. Ensure that extensions loaded using both the methods are same. I mean same set of extensions should be loaded by both the installation. An extension difference might cause the above behaviour.

    Thanks,

    Don.

    php-5.3.1-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.msi  25,802 kb thats the msi i installed

    Hi,

    See WPI just invokes the PHP MSI with bunch of arguments which by default installs some popular PHP extension. And WPI supports PHP5.2.11 for now. The way you moved to PHP5.3 is also okay as it is the easiest way. And you mentioned that a simple PHPINFO page is working. This means PHP is working from IIS point of view as well as functionality wise. I am deeply worried why Joomla didn't work. Whereas the same Joomla worked switching to zip file installation.

    It would be good if you can find the root cause of this problem. You can try installing zip file to another location C:\PHP1 and see if that works again. It will be advantageous to know the root cause and if the problem exists in MSI let's fix it.

    BTW, I just installed Joomla on my WIN7 box using WPI and moved to PHP5.3.1 using the MSI and everything works as expected. So I am at least not seeing any problem.

    Thanks,

    Don.

    Hi,

    If you are using 5.3.1 try switching to 5.2.11 version of PHP and see. I have phpMyAdmin running and I don't see any problem login in.

    Just download PHP5.2.11 from http://php.net, uninstall PHP5.3.1 and instal PHP5.2.1. No WPI involved. Ensure that after installation a simple PHPINFO page is working.

    You should not get 500 on phpMyAdmin using PHP 5.2.11. At least I didn't. It will be also good if after uninstalling PHP5.3.1 you delete the PHP.INI file if you don't need it.At least ensure that C:\Program Files\PHP folder is empty.

    Hi,

    You do not have VC9 builds for PHP5.2 which is fine. VC6 or VC9 doesn't matter. You can again use MSI to go from 5.2 to 5.3 and see if this works. Start with a simple PHPINFO page before testing the applications.

    I am for sure I can use phpMyAdmin with PHP5.3.1 with MSI installer.

    Can you run php-cgi from command line? I mean php-cgi.exe -v.

    And if a simple PHPINFO page works, this means the application has some problem.

    Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.

    Went to command prompt and  C:\Users\Laptop>php-cgi -v

    and i got this

    php-cgi.exe - System Error

    The Program Can't start because gmodule-2.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

    then i click ok

    OK, I can understand the problem now. So it seems some extension is causing this. You can get rid of this by start commenting out extension line in the PHP.INI file until you get rid of all the errors and try phpMyAdmin page again. You know commenting extension means finding all the lines starting with 'extension=' line in PHP.INI file and comment it by starting the line with ';'.

    Otherwise just stick to other type of installation or use 5.2.11 version of PHP.

    Thanks,

    Don.

    This means there are still some more errors. If you have configured PHP to log errors, please see the log file. If you have used the MSI and hasn't chnaged anything, the log file should be in all probability present at C:\WINDOWS\Temp\php-errors.txt or something. See what errors are there in the log.

    Hi,

    Yes that is also a way because when you specify actual IP address, name resolution will not happen and connection will go through. However be aware that this solution will work only for the particular application (in this case phpMyAdmin). If you install another application like Drupal it will show a similar problem. So a global solution is to disable IPV6 in your host file.

    Thanks,

    Don.

    Hello @ zombiesskull2001,

    Please take a look at the "manipulating the MySQL grant tables"

      MySQL Server information here http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/adding-users.html 

    You need to use mysql  to allow users to logon to the mysql server & databases.

    The default  strict security  settings are to deny access to mysql;

    You can get by with doing the minimal steps in the article.

    After you allow the root user to access the localhost server much of your problems should be resolved.

    If your not confortable with using the command prompt:

    You canoptionally  download & install the MySQL Work Bench and use it to do many of the other

    tasks necessary to use Mysql Server.
