How to make Denwer PhpMyAdmin and MySql friends?

Question

PHP

Hello!
Recently I decided to start setting up the development environment for study php, the choice fell on the package denwer, I installed it according to the tutorial from the office. site, the localhostnorms come in, it appears ...

when you try to follow the link on this page of Denver http://localhost/Tools/phpMyAdmin, a trace appears. error
Somewhere I read that this error occurs due to the fact that I have MySql installed separately (I studied sql in it)? I tried to edit the file config.inc.php, or rather manually entered the login and pass for my installed MySql Workbench, those login and pass under which I enter Mysql ...

/* User used to manipulate with storage */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlhost'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'ogyrec777';

I tried to change for the sake of experiment in the hope that when trying to switch from a page to a program, it would require a username and password, but there, as they say, one could already experiment, BUT nothing happens, just an error in any case. Oof, after each change I rebooted denwer . Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions to this problem?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;

Answer 1

Denwer is outdated many decades ago. It won't even be able to connect to modern MySQL anymore due to unsupported authentication protocols.
