Problems while installation

Error1:#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

(This error while accessing http://localhost/phpmyadmin)

Solution: Go to

\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1\config.inc.php

edit the file with the password:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; to

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'root';

because mysql password is root.

Error2: Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in \wamp\www\drupal6\includes\file.inc

Solution: Go to wamp\www\drupal\includes\file.inc

change ereg in line to mb_ereg to make the line transform into :

i.e,. elseif ($depth >= $min_depth && ereg($mask, $file))

to elseif ($depth >= $min_depth && mb_ereg($mask, $file))

That message appear because if we use latest wamp software that utilize php 5.3.0 where ereg() function is deprecated.

best solution for this case is to Downgrade wamp to previous version or else made above changes.
