I tested on Windows 7 x64 and I confirm that bug...

Error log is "empty" and access said :
"127.0.0.1 - - [19/Feb/2010:10:56:56 +0100] "GET /home/mysql/ HTTP/1.1" 200 -
127.0.0.1 - - [19/Feb/2010:10:57:57 +0100] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 1139"

So, I don't understand why that don't work...

A temporary solution is to use virtual PC :
[www.microsoft.com]

Of course, this is a temporary solution ...

I am very new at all of this. I have been teaching myself how to work with code and now with PHP. I ran into the same problem and spent several hours looking for a solution. My problem is that I am running win 7 64 bit. Here is the fix if this is your problem:

In the config.inc.php file you need to change

$cfg[$i]['host'] = 'localhost'; to $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';

For some reason they are not recognized by Windows 7 as being the same. (it runs fine without the change on my XP machine)

I found this informaitn on another forum, hope it helps.

thats because seven resolve localhost on ipv6 address. Solution is also on a sticky topic in this forum
