Report "I installed MySql. Then I installed XAMPP for windows to be able to use php with mysql. The XAMPP Control Panel shows MySql is running. But I cannot get my php programs to connect to either MySql application. I am running Windows 7. I can use a command line to work in mySql, so I know it is working. I also installed Heidi to work with the databases, but it won't connect to the database either. Each MySql application uses different passwords, but neither works. Any suggestions?"
