I'm hoping you have read this topic:

PHPMyAdmin - MySQL Error #2002 in Ubuntu
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=50515

Good Luck with your project

yup i have read that, it does not help

Well - here's the situation -

A. IF you are getting a message that another MYSQL daemon is already running, it means one of two things -

You did not shut down LAMPP correctly before attemtping to restart it

OR

You have another MySQL install on the box == bad.

B. Its pretty hard to guess what is wrong from this clue

i getproblem loading page

Do you get an error message, does th page time out, what?

Good Luck
