i use windows xp and xampp 1.7.7 for local WordPress dev.
and i cannot connect to mysql database whenever i don't have any internet connection.
(disconnected from internet)

i got this error if i try to go to phpMyAdmin page
"#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)"

do i have to have working internet connection to use mysql in xampp?
and is there a way to solve this?

i already try searching but cannot find solution yet.

thank you..

note:
i try this is 2 computer and have the same problem.

Has MySQL been installed on this machine before XAMPP??

no mysql before xampp.

everything working fine with internet connection.
but mysql/phpmyadmin not working without internet connection.

OK

try binding MySQL to 127.0.0.1

Also check your hosts file to make sure there is an entry:

127.0.0.1 localhost


Good Luck
