While accessing PhpMyAdmin getting the following error.

ERROR #2002 – The server is not responding (or local MySQL server’s socket is not correctly configured).

Reason : The mysql socket file is missing from the /tmp directory

Fix : 1. Create a symbolic link from the original mysql socket file to /tmp

Code: [Select]

ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp

OR

2. Restart MySQL service from WHM

Code: [Select]

WHM Login >> Main >> Restart Services >>SQL Server (MySQL)

OR

3. Edit the PhpMyAdmin configuration file to use the original MySQL socket file.

Code: [Select]

vi /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php
Make sure, the correct mysql socket file is mentioned there.

Code: [Select]

$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘socket’] = ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’;
$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘connect_type’] = ’socket’;
