Cannot log into Wamp 3 (4 replies)

Hello all,

I have just upgraded from Wamp 2.1 (be removing it entirely from my PC) - I have tried Wammp 2.5 and Wamp 3 but am getting the same problem...

On attempting to login with root and no password I get two error msgs:

This shows above the login box: #2002 - An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. — The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).

And this below: mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.

I have ensured that all the criteria on the Wamp homepage are met, with regard to redistributables etc, and the Tools on each install (I tried 2.5 first, then uninstalled it and tried 3) are saying all the modules are working correctly. The config file also seems to be OK.

Can anyone PLEASE, PLEASE help me? I'm halfway through dveeloping a WP site and am now totally stuck!!!!

Thank you,
Jim
