[SOLUTION] phpMyAdmin vista / seven white page issue

To solve the problem, edit the file phpmyadmin/config.inc.php.

Line 18 change
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
by
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';

Thanks to amour for the help !

J'ai essayé avec Vista et Seven, mais il n'y avait jamais de message d'erreur, ni dans les logs, ni à l'écran.

C'est ainsi que j'ai testé mon propre phpMyAdmin, en remplaçant celui de EasyPHP :
Cela fonctionne correctement ensuite ;)

I found 2 bugs :

With Vista and Seven/7, phpMyAdmin don't work, and root password is not empty, it is "p" letter.

So, to get phpMyAdmin work with Vista and Seven/7, you can download that phpMyAdmin :
[www.megaupload.com]

With XP, root password is empty and all is working.

??? I can't beleive pawword is OS version dependant.
How did you found that ?

I just receive my "bete de course" laptop with 7 and start to investigate: mysql is listenning and recheable with telnet but simple scipt timeout on mysql_connect...

Still investigate.

It's not a joke... with Vista and Seven/7 same surprise... MySQL root password is "p" and with XP it's empty.

I really don't understand why...

I use Win 7 64bit. After my USB stick broke down I installed it successfully on my hard disc. I changed the "localhost" to "127.0.0.1" in the phpmyadmin configuration file and I adjusted the path in php.ini because of the "(x86)"-program path of the 64-bit system. No problems with the password. I connected without being asked for that.

Yes, I think this is because line "127.0.0.1 localhost" is absent of "hosts" file into Vista and Seven/7

Yes, that's clearly the problem (*). maybe changing resolution is a better solution but correcting phpmyadmin conf. file can be done by non admin users.
