phpmyadmin and mysql server error.

[william232]

Hi there,

I have just recently installed xampp on my vps and when i go to the phpmyadmin page i get this Error

MySQL said: Documentation
#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
Open new phpMyAdmin window

Now how can i fix this error

Thanks,William

Is the MySQL-Server running? (Port Check)
Is the correct SQL-Server configured in PMA?
Does your system listen to localhost as Hostname? (/etc/hosts)
