phpMyAdmin suddenly stopped working

KriZ · July 5th, 2008, 5:43 AM

It's been a while since I needed phpMyAdmin, but today I need it again, and it doesn't work. It's giving me this error:

Quote:

#2002 Server doesn't respond (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)

I didn't change anything to my server config... maybe it's because a mysql update or something else surpass did?

I had the same issue today (must be due to a cPanel/Apache Upgrade or something), and support fixed it for me

Sometimes the /tmp/mysql.sock symbolic link is not properly set due to an upgrade or simular. That might cause the issues with phpMyAdmin.

To fix that You can log in via SSH as root to the server and do:

Quote:

[root

server ~]$ rm -f /tmp/mysql.sock
[root

server ~]$ ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
[root

server ~]$ ls -l /tmp/*.sock
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 06 Jul 9 19:14 /tmp/mysql.sock -> /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
