Re: Error 2003: Cann't Connect to MySql Server on 'localhost' <10061>

[Mitch Lindle]

I am running mysql on another port. Here is how I fixed the issue. In the config.inc.php file (located in the phpmyadmin folder), add the 'host' path to specify where to find the server. It could fix the localhost issue too. Who knows?

/* Authentication type and info */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost:8081';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
