- when you install XAMPP and try to manage your mysql by typing

Code: Select all

mysql

or you just want to use very good mysql administartion GUI tool (mysql-admin) - you need to do the following:
1. Install packages "connected" to mysql, such as mysql-client, mysql-common.
2. Install package "mysql-admin"
3. Now time to make commandline mysql and graphic mysql-admin tools ready to work. Edit the configuration files located in /etc/mysql/ and replace EVERY instance of

Code: Select all

/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

with this one:

Code: Select all

/opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock

now you are able to use other tools than phpMyAdmin.
