On my mac using MAMP and creating first ever local server to test drupal site, ran into trouble in mySQL where think needed to create my own config.php but instead just selected root as one to modify and replace giving password.
Now when go to localhost/update.php even though remember password and thought named database drupal - nothing I input works and can’t find file to retrieve details.
Can you still get into phpmyadmin?
No I couldn’t but then I found a config.php file and deleted it so could get in but couldn’t delete database so ended up deleting mamp and started from scratch but this time didn’t do anything in myphpadmin except name and create new database then added drupal to htdocs folder and went to localhost/update.php and it all went through.
Thanks for the reply.
