Does anyone know what i need to do to resolve this ? Tried to change the conf.inc.php in phpmyadmin file to point to the socket file, nothing happens. it says: #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server’s socket is not correctly configured). BUT when I use a MySQL client “Querious” for Mac it connects without a problem. I’m using a MAMP stack just installed. Many thanks.
So you’re MAMP’d, and are trying to connect phpmyadmin to your localhost? or 127.0.0.1? or your external IP?
Im trying to connect to my localhost and tried using socket: 127.0.0.1,localhost but cannot succeed. Any ideas?
Is your php.ini 's mysql.default_socket setting set correctly?
what do i have to set it to, socket value… i mean like 127.0.0.1 in quotes ?
