Re: Re3: uninstall MySQL

Thanks Eric, that worked to get rid of the extra icon.

But I am still unable to access the MySQL databases using the phpMyAdmin
interface. I was able to get to them the very first time I installed
MySQL.pkg and navigated to it through the web interface, but when I started
trying to set up a root passowrd, it stopped working.

I tried to set up the root password because  error messages in red type on
the main page of phpMyAdmin advised me to. Ever since I have been unable to
access mySQL using phpMyAdmin.

Now, I am stuck with no interface and the issue is not resolved by
reinstalling the .pkg file.

here is the error I see in both frames of the phpMyAdmin page:



---------------------------
Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.4.0

Error
MySQL said: 

Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)
---------------------------



Any ideas as to how I can get the phpMyAdmin to access MySQL again?

I've done some debugging and found that I can access as root user the mysql
and test databases via the mysql command line client:

---------------------------
% cd /Library/Tenon/MySQL/bin
% ./mysql -u root

mysql> use mysql
Database changed
mysql> status

Also, I can see that the root user has no password required in the
config.inc.php file, but each time I try to connect via the web interface, I
see the 'Access denied' error.

Thanks in advance,
dan
