PhpMyadmin errror “#2002

The phpMyadmin errror “#2002 – The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server’s socket is not correctly configured)” occurs due to many reasons.

1. First check whether mysql is working in the server or not.

2, Check whether there is a symbolic link from mysql.sock to /tmp. If not, create a symlink between /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock and /tmp/mysql.sock.
~~~~~~~~~
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
~~~~~~~~~

3. If this doesn’t fix the issue check the file: /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php and make sure the entries are like this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = ’socket’;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope these will help u……
