Hello,
I'm using Web Platform Installer to install Joomla in Windows Server 2008.. At the beginning it asked me to Specify a password for the MySQL administrator user name (root).. Which I did..
but then when it did ask me to enter the password:
this error comes:
---------------------------
Microsoft Web Platform Installer
---------------------------
The specified password for user account 'root' is not valid, or failed to connect to the database server.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
=====================================
Note: I also have wampserver 2 on the machine!!
