Problem after installation of XAMPP

Hi,

I have installed TestLink 1.7.4 and Mantis 1.1.2 both working fine independently but somehow I could not integrate them.

After referring Forum, I installed XAMPP and it is displaying all the tools
phpMyAdmin, Webalizer, Mantis 1.0.8 and TestLink 1.7.1. I could manage to access phpMyAdmin and Webalizer from localhost page but when I am trying to access Mantis and TestLink application is displaying error
Mantis -
SYSTEM WARNING: mysqli_real_connect() [function.mysqli-real-connect]: (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
TestLink -
TestLink::: Fatal Error
1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

And when I checked XAMPP Status it is displaying
MySQL database as DEACTIVATED

Now I am not able to access both these tools even independantly

Can anybody help me out with the issue?

TestLink doesn't use root access to database. You probably modified config_db.inc.php configuration file.
In the case that the problem is related to BTS features only - you need to configure valid DB user in cfg/mantis.php file.
Use phpMyAdmin to see valid users and fix the access rights for both.

I found out the solution but I don't think it is logical to do that.

I can log on to TestLink and I can connect to mantis when I save execution, only if I stop MySQL service from XAMPP control panel application and start separate MySQL instance by executing mysql_start.bat file and keep that instance open.

But still when I am redirected to mantis from TestLink, error message is displayed as “Your account may be disabled or blocked or the username/password you entered is incorrect”.
I know, I have done a very silly mistake somewhere. Can you please tell me now where I am wrong?
