PhpMyAdmin on Mavericks

Question

I'm having a hard time trying to get PhpMyAdmin to work on Mavericks.

I have enabled PHP in apache by uncommenting the LoadModule directive in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, I have downloaded and installed MySQL 5.6.17, I have changed the root password, I have downloaded and installed PhpMyAdmin 4.1.13, but when I try to login into phpmyadmin, I'm getting the error:

#2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server

I can connect to mysql from the terminal without problem, but not from PhpMyAdmin.

Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

my problem was that I configured phpmyadmin for a tcp connection, but mysql uses Unix sockets by default.
