Hello. I hope you guys can help me out here as I'm literally at the end of my tether. I accidentally changed a password while playing around in phpmyadmin, and now it has completely locked me out and no matter what I try, I just can't get it working again.
I've tried just about every solution Google has to offer and nothing is working out for me. I've edited the config file, I've re-installed Xampp, I've re-installed mysql, and still I get this annoying message every time. I think I've completely messed it up now.
------------------------------------------
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.
------------------------------------------
I'm running Xampp 1.7.3 on Ubuntu 10.4.
How do I go about fixing this, or maybe a better option would be to just wipe the lot and start again. But how?
any help at all will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
