I get the error "#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)". I search it on the net and there were some solutions for it.I created one /etc/my.cnf and [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock [mysql.server] user=mysql basedir=/var/lib But still I am getting the same error. I am able to login into the mysql> by giving this command. mysql -u root -p But I am not able to run the phpmyadmin 2.6.2 as I need to configure one software . Thanks & Regards Ankush
