Hi, I have just instlaled a clean instalation of fedora core to run as a ftp and web serer. I am tryign to set up mysql, when i installed i selceted all the mysql options and all teh web server options inclusing php mysql or something. I also have webmin which reports that mysql server is running, and i have made a username in there sa well as root. I am trying to set up phpmyadmin, i have downloaded it, un zipped it and ftped it to a folder called phpmyadmin in my /var/www/html folder. The problem is, is that when i go there, i get the error: MySQL said: #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured) I think i have set up the config fiel right: ive put in my pmi url to be: (just for localuse) "http://10.0.0.10/administration/phpmyadmin" ANd have entered a blowfish secret, got he auth type on cookie (althpouhg on http no usernames seem to work) and my user naem and password in thee first section. Any help appreciated Thanks Darren Thanks,

What type of socket (socket or TCP) did you setup in the phpmyadmin config? Does the socket exist?

Its set as tcp, is this right? If not how whould it be set up. Thanks Darren Thanks,

TCP is fine. do a netstat -an. Is mysql.sock listed?

Hi, Netstat is not listed, although wen i accidently did netstat -sumthing else mysql was listed as a tcp entry. Not shore what i did there though. do i need mysql.sock to work even though im connecting with tcp? Thanks Darren Thanks,

Yes. Post the following lines (and their values) from your config.inc.php file: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] $cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] $cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost'; // MySQL hostname or IP address $cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = ''; // MySQL port - leave blank for default port $cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = ''; // Path to the socket - leave blank for default socket $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'socket'; // How to connect to MySQL server ('tcp' or 'socket') $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql'; // The php MySQL extension to use ('mysql' or 'mysqli') $cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = FALSE; // Use compressed protocol for the MySQL connection // (requires PHP >= 4.3.0) $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = ''; // MySQL control user settings // (this user must have read-only $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = ''; // access to the "mysql/user" // and "mysql/db" tables). // The controluser is also // used for all relational // features (pmadb) $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http'; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)? $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL user Thats the liuens form the config file anything wrong?
