I tried several times and failed each time. Plugged in what I thought was the old password and then the new password. Clicked on Security and navigated to the link to actually do the deed. 'No big deal, I can change the database password' I thought so I shut down the new stuff, fired up the old stuff and went into the XAMPP dashboard. Instead of 'root' for a user name, phpMyAdmin now shows 'admin' and what I thought was my password (for both the 'root' and 'admin' accounts) doesn't work. I fired up the new setup and made sure I could get into the XAMPP and Joomla backends and then went to import my database. I backed up my old htdocs folder and went in to phpMyAdmin to export my database using the saved username/password info in Firefox. I knew my installation was dated so I downloaded and installed the latest XAMPP (Windows) and Joomla stuff to a brand new drive. Working on a local installtion, I got it about 80% done then life threw me a curve ball and it wasn't until recently that I had an opportunity to sit back down and finish the project. I'm not sure if this is an installation or administration issue so if I chose poorly, admins, please feel free to move this to the appropriate area.Ī couple years ago, I started migrating my old, hard-coded site to Joomla 2.5.
