I'm trying to upgrade my XAMPP from 1.7.3 to 1.7.4 (xampp-win32-1.7.4-VC6-installer.exe). I had already backed up the htdocs & mysql/data folders. I uninstalled XAMPP & deleted the remaining content (to avoid the incomplete uninstall problem I had earlier). I then installed XAMPP 1.7.4. Everything worked fine. I'm able to add new user with all privileges granted. But when I copied the backed-up folders to their respective places, I can no longer grant privileges to new users. I get this error message: <pre><code>ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO) </code></pre> I had tried many solutions that the web can offer, including resetting the password, but nothing seems to work. In fact, after resetting the password, and other modifications I tried related to that, I get "Cannot connect: invalid settings" error message when accessing phpmyadmin, the server rejected the connection. This happened after I copied the backed-up mysql/data/mysql folder. Specifically, I think it's the user.* files from that folder that trigger the problem. But if I didn't copy those files or revert them with the original files, my backed-up users cannot be accessed in that I get "Error establishing a database connection" when opening my site, but I can create new user and grant it privileges again. What is in the user.* files that's causing the problem? And how can I fix this? <hr> <blockquote> UPDATE : Further research shows that the 1.7.4 version is actually very VERY buggy... <a href="http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=44327" rel="nofollow">http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=44327</a> So the question now is: Is it worth upgrading? </blockquote>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
