If you end up getting this error
#2002 – The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server’s socket is not correctly configured)
Then you need to do the following.
vi /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php
find
$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘socket’] = ”;
change to
$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘socket’] = ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’;next line
$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘connect_type’] = ‘tcp’;change to
$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘connect_type’] = ‘socket’;
You should be all set after that…
