I have just installed the latest version of WampServer on a Windows 10 pro 64bit PC.
All servers are showing green, installed wordpress and /localhost/wordpress/ launches the configuration page. but /localhost/phpmyadmin/ loads to the login screen but will not go any further. with both user and password left blank it just recycles back to the login page.
Using user 'root' with blank password produce error message:
"#2002- An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. <br/>The server is not responding ( or the local server's socket is not correctly configured)."
Have tried editing the php config file and resetting servers as suggested on the web but no solution so reset to original. also checket the hosts file but all seems as should be.
Everything seems to have loaded correctly except I am unable to access the database set up needed for wordpress.
Any ideas as to a solution please.
an earlier version was running under windows 7 but was disabled on upgrading to windows 10. I unilstalled any older versions before any new installs.
