I have been through lots of forums and checked various posts on similar topic but non seems to work out for me.
I have freshly installed XAMPP 1.7.7 on my Ubuntu 11.10 Operating system. Everything is running except for the phpMyAdmin.
Upon hitting: http://localhost/phpmyadmin, I am getting 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.
When i am starting the services with: sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
I am getting the following:
XAMPP: Another web server daemon is already running.
XAMPP: Another MySQL daemon is already running.
XAMPP: Another FTP daemon is already running.
XAMPP for Linux started.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
It turns out that the solution is to stop all the related services and solve the “Another daemon is already running” issue.
The commands i used to solve the issue are as follows:
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
Or, you can also type instead:
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo service mysql stop
After that, we again start the lampp services:
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
Now, there must be no problems while opening:
http://localhost
http://localhost/phpmyadmin
- Open config.default.php file under phpmyadmin/libraries/
- Find $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost'; Change to $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
- refresh your phpmyadmin page, login
At each point in these instructions, check to see if the problem is fixed. If so, great! Otherwise, continue.
- Get to Services. (I was able to right click the Apache launch icon to get there.)
- Scroll down to MySQL. Click to start. This will get rid of the #2002 error. Now you'll have a new error:
#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
- Edit the
C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.5.1\config.inc.phpfile, changing$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';to instead be= 'mysql' - Open Services again and Stop MySQL
- While in Services, Start wampmysqld
This is convoluted, I know, but that's what worked for me. Some posts may say you need a password in the config file, but you don't. Mine is still ""
Hope this helps.
The problem might be with service mysql-server and apache2 running while system start. You can do the following.
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop
To stop already running default services
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo service mysql stop
To remove the services completely, so that they won't create problem in next system-restart, If you are in ubuntu(debian)
sudo apt-get remove apache2
sudo apt-get remove mysql-server
If you are in redhat or other, You could use yum or similar command to uninstall the services
Then start the lampp again
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
Also, don't install mysql-server in the system, because it might start in system start-up, occupy the port, and create problem for mysql of lampp.
Go to phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php edit the line
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'yourpassword';
This problem might occur due to setting of a password to root, thus phpmyadmin is not able to connect to the mysql database.
And the last thing change
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
Now restart your server. and see.
Go to config.inc.php file using terminal by typing the following:
sudo gedit /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
The file will open in gedit.
Now open the file and edit
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'localhost';
to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
and keep the username as: root password:
Also make sure that the lines with username and password are not commented:
//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; //$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
Make sure that // is removed from the above lines.
I stopped MySQL sudo service mysql stop
and then started xammp sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
and it worked!
please check the mysql.ini file in your xampp mysql installation... its found on xampp/mysql/bin directory
check the line 43
> log_error="mysql_error.log"
> #bind-address="127.0.0.1"
uncomment the line 43 if its still commented
Though I'm using Mac OS 10.9, this solution may work for someone else as well, perhaps on Ubuntu.
In the XAMPP console, I only found that phpMyAdmin started working again after restarting everything including the Apache Web Server.
No problemo, now.
You can check it by connecting MySQL through the command prompt.
I think that your MySQL Database is blocked by firewall. Once stop all the services of antivirus software you have on your computer, then try to connect.
I faced this problem as well and rectified by blocking all firewalls..
Goto xampp folder in local drive c, click on mysql folder, then click on bin and finally click on "mysqladmin" application. Then go back and refresh your browser and the problem is solved.
