Hi all,
I am new to this. I have a serious problem getting the phpmyadmin section working in my Xampp installation. I have installed XAMPP version 1.7.7 on my Windows 7 pc and am having trouble with logging into the phpmyadmin page. When I click on phpmyadmin link, I get the following error:
"MySQL said:
#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 have a separate Mysql installation on my pc (it was required for working with Ruby on Rails). However,in the my.ini file used for that installation I have changed the port number temporarily to 3307.
The port number used in the my.ini file under xampp\mysql\bin is 3306. I looked around the forum for posts related to this error and was not able to find the solution. I have tried a bunch of offered solutions, eg: editing the config.inc.php file to include: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket] = 'C:\xampp\mysql\mysql.sock'; but to no avail. I think the problem is because of the other Mysql installation. But I cannot remove that as I need it for my work on RoR.
I could really use some help in resolving this as I need to get this working asap.
Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
