Phpmyadmin 2002 ошибка

I have installed MySQL server enterprise 5.1 on my local machine and now I want to install phpMyAdmin, but it does not work.

I have unrared phpMyAdmin to my server root directory and browsed to «localhost/phpMyAdmin/setup/index.php», started a new server and the only setting I changed was filling in my MySQL password in the field «Password for config auth»

So now when I am trying to log in I get an error message saying «#2002 cannot log in to the mysql server phpmyadmin»

Does anyone know what’s wrong? I’ve been having this problem since yesterday.

If you’re getting the #2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server error while logging in to phpmyadmin, try editing phpmyadmin/config.inc.php and change:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';

to:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';

Solution from Ryan’s blog

Edit (20-Mar-2015):

Note that if you’re on a fresh install, config.inc.php may not exist. You need to rename / copy config.sample.inc.php and then change the relevant line

This is old but as it is the first result in Google,

Please note that this also happens when your MySql service is down,

I fixed this by simply restarting MySQL Server using:

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

in SSH (Command is for a CentOS/CPanel server)

Background:
I am using Linux Mint 13. In my case, this error happened when I restarted the computer and my DHCP assigned a new local IP address (from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.4) to my desktop.

sudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Update

bind-address = 192.168.0.2

to

bind-address = localhost

This fixed the problem. Enjoy.

This can also be caused if you forget (as I did) to move config.inc.php into its proper place after completing the setup script.

After making the config folder and doing chmod o+rw config and going to localhost/phpmyadmin/setup and following those steps, you need to go back to the command line and finish things off:

mv config/config.inc.php .         # move file to current directory
chmod o-rw config.inc.php          # remove world read and write permissions
rm -rf config                      # remove not needed directory

After trying all of the above suggestions here is what fixed my #2002 error.

Add the following line to your config.inc.php file and change the number to your MySQL port:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '3307'; // MySQL port

I had multiple mysql instances installed, and in this case, I had updated my.ini to run MySQL on port 3307, but had not updated phpMyAdmin to reflect the new port. In my case, the line for the port did not exist in the config.inc.php file, so I was not aware that it needed updating.

Did you set up the MySQL on your machine? It sounds like you’re using Windows; MySQL runs as a «Service» on your machine (right-click My Computer -> Manage -> Services).

I’ve been through basically all of stackoverflow for this error and nothing resolved my issue. I was able to log into mysql directly from the linux command line fine, but with the same user and password couldn’t log into phpmyadmin.

So I beat my head against the wall for half the day until I realized it wasn’t even reading the config.inc.php under /etc/phpmyadmin (the only place it was located btw based on «find / -iname config.inc.php». So I changed the host in /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/libraries/config.default.php and it finally worked.

I know there’s probably another issue with why it isn’t reading the config from the /etc/phpmyadmin folder but I can’t be bothered with that for now :P

tldr; if your settings don’t seem to be applying at all try making the changes within /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/libraries/config.default.php

It happened with me when I changed the instance type of my AWS server.

#2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server can also occur when the mysqld service is not started.

So first of all you need to execute :

$ sudo service mysqld restart

This will give you :

$ sudo service mysqld restart
Stopping mysqld:                                           [  OK  ]
Starting mysqld:                                           [  OK  ]

After that the error will not come.

P.S. On EC2 instances, one should also change the host from localhost to 127.0.0.1 as mentioned in the top answer.

I had same issue after the server has been attacked using a DDoS (actually a penetration testing tool).

I’ve headed to /etc/var/mysql/error.log first to see the InnoDB had a file lock.

The issue was immediately fixed by restarting the server, however that’s not future-proof.

Had this problem a number of times on our setup, so I’ve made a check list.

This assumes you want phpMyAdmin connecting locally to MySQL using a UNIX socket rather than TCP/IP.

UNIX sockets should be slightly faster as they have less overhead and can be more secure as they can only be accessed locally.

Service

  • Is the mysqld service running? service mysqld status
  • .. If not service mysqld start
  • Has config has changed since service started? service mysqld restart

MySQL Config (my.cnf)

  • Check that there isn’t a non-socket client protocol set, e.g. protocol=tcp
  • Check that the socket location is accessible and has the right permissions

PHP Config (php.ini)

If you can connect locally from the command line, but not from phpMyAdmin, and the socket file is not in the default location:

  • Set the mysqli default sockets to the new location: mysqli.default_socket = *location*
  • … I also set the pdo_myql.default_socket and mysql.default_socket just to be sure
  • Restart your web service (httpd in my case) service httpd restart

phpMyAdmin Config (config.inc.php)

  • Check that the host is set to localhost: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
  • The socket location can also be set here: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '*location*';

N.B.

As pointed out by @chk; Setting the $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] from localhost to 127.0.0.1 just causes the connection to use TCP/IP rather than using the socket and is more of a workaround than a solution.

The MySQL config setting bind-address= also only affects TCP/IP connections.

If you don’t need remote connections, it is recommended to turn off TCP/IP listening with skip-networking.

For Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04, you can apply following commands

First, check MySQL service is running or not using

sudo service mysql status

Now you can see you show a message like this: mysql stop/waiting.

Now apply command: sudo service mysql restart!

Now you can see you show a message like this: mysql start/running, process 8313.

Now go to the browser and logged in as root(username) and root(password) and you will be logged in successfully

For those who get this error when working with WAMP/XAMP on a windows machine.

This may help you.

Your solution is to

  • net stop mysql
  • Erase binary logs (and the binary log index file)
  • IF you do not know where they are, locate my.ini on your PC
  • Open my.ini in Notepad look for the option log-bin or log_bin
  • Look for the option datadir
  • If log-bin only has a filename, look inside the folder specified by datadir
  • If log-bin includes a path and a filename, look inside the folder specified by log-bin
  • Open the desired folder in Windows Explorer
  • Remove the binary logs There should be a file whose
    file extension is .index. Delete this as well net start mysql

Please DO NOT ERASE ib_logfile0 or ib_logfile1 when you have binary log issues.

After Many attempts in getting this fixed, it was found out that the issue was with Mysql users not being allowed to login

netstat -na | grep -i 3306

If it is listening on all interfaces, then you can assign any of your interfaces to this

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'ANY INTERFACE';

Try to Login using the above IP using the comand line

mysql -u bla -p -h <Above_IP_address>

If this works then your phpmyadmin will also work, If not fix the mysql.user table so that the above command works and allows you to login to mysql.

It is because your system has two installations of «mysql» packages. One installation was made through xampp/lampp and another installation was made through mysql-debain package. To solve the problem, just go to «synaptic manager» and remove mysql, and then you will be able to access mysql from xampp server.

Note : removing mysql from synaptic manager doesn’t affect mysql which was installed through xampp/lampp server. So don’t worry!

Just in case anyone has anymore troubles, this is a pretty sure fix.

check your etc/hosts file make sure you have a root user for every host.

i.e.

127.0.0.1   home.dev

localhost   home.dev

Therefore I will have 2 or more users as root for mysql:

root@localhost
root@home.dev

this is how I fixed my problem.

This problem occurs when you already had MySQL installed on your machine or in case you have changed the post number of the MySql service which is 3306(Default). In order to solve this, you have to tell the phpMyAdmin to look for another port instead of 3306. To do so go to C:xamppphpMyAdmin(default location) and open Config.inc and add this line $cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '3307'; after $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true; Restart the services and now it should work.

I had an issue with the path of the MySQL service in the Windows 7 registry
which was not changed with the new installed XAMPP or newer easyPHP
version.

So if anybody has the same problem (#2002 error, phpMyAdmin cannot be
started) you can search into the win regedit for ‘my.ini’ and exchange the
path to the new package.

For example I exchanged on a few places the older path:

C:EASYPH~1.1VCbinariesmysqlbineds-mysqld.exe
—defaults-file=C:EASYPH~1.1VCbinariesmysqlmy.ini MySQL

with the newer one:

c:xamppmysqlbinmysqld.exe —defaults-file=c:xamppmysqlbinmy.ini
mysql

It is strange that nobody described this issue before on the web!

Can’t access your MySQL server via phpMyAdmin due to error 2002?

A MySQL service restart or configuration correction can let you access the MySQL server.

At Bobcares, we often get requests to fix phpMyAdmin errors, as a part of our Server Management Services.

Today, let’s see how our Support Engineers fix this error.

What is phpMyAdmin error 2002?

phpMyAdmin is a tool to manage MySQL database via a front panel. This tool makes database management easier with the user interface.

But what if you can’t even access it? The typical error message while a user tries to access it appears as:

phpmyadmin error 2002.

phpMyAdmin error 2002 is a common error when a new user is accessing it. Because of the newly setup configuration is not proper. It needs some corrections. Otherwise, the MySQL server is not working,

Our Experts in Server Administration always fix this error for our customers. Let’s see how we do it.

How we fix phpMyAdmin error 2002?

Customers often approach us with the error message ‘2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server‘. Let us discuss how our Support Engineers resolve the error for our customers.

1. If MySQL server is down

In this case, our Support Team first checks if the MySQL server is functioning properly. If not we restart the service.

For a CentOS server, we use the command,

/etc/init.d/mysql restart

In most cases this fixes the error.

2. Improper configuration

If the server is up, next our Support Engineers check the configuration file.

By default, phpmyadmin/config.sample.inc.php is the configuration file. We make a copy of this file in the name phpmyadmin/config.inc.php.

This file holds the configuration needed for phpMyAdmin to function.

We check for entries that mostly lead to error. That is,

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';

This indicates the server host. We change this to localhost IP (127.0.0.1).

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';

Now we try to connect to phpMyAdmin. If the error still persist we make changes to the other parameters as well.

Another parameter is the connection type, which we set it accordingly. Here it is set to tcp.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';

In case of socket connection the required changes are:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = 'location of socket file';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'socket';

Hence we ensure to fix the error.

[Need assistance in fixing phpMyAdmin errors? – We’ll help you.]

Conclusion

In short, phpMyAdmin error 2002 occurs when the user tries to access it. This error indicates that either the MySQL server is down or the phpMyAdmin has a bad configuration. Today, we saw how our Support Engineers fix this error.

PREVENT YOUR SERVER FROM CRASHING!

Never again lose customers to poor server speed! Let us help you.

Our server experts will monitor & maintain your server 24/7 so that it remains lightning fast and secure.

GET STARTED

var google_conversion_label = «owonCMyG5nEQ0aD71QM»;

I have been through lots of forums and checked various posts on similar topic but non seems to work out for me.

I have freshly installed XAMPP 1.7.7 on my Ubuntu 11.10 Operating system. Everything is running except for the phpMyAdmin.

Upon hitting: http://localhost/phpmyadmin, I am getting the following error:

MySQL said:

Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.

When i am starting the services with: sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
I am getting the following:

XAMPP: Another MySQL daemon is already running.
XAMPP: Another FTP daemon is already running.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It turns out that the solution is to stop all the related services and solve the “Another daemon is already running” issue.

The commands i used to solve the issue are as follows:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop              
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop    
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

Or, you can also type instead:

sudo service apache2 stop
sudo service mysql stop

After that, we again start the lampp services:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

Now, there must be no problems while opening:

http://localhost                  
http://localhost/phpmyadmin

At each point in these instructions, check to see if the problem is fixed. If so, great! Otherwise, continue.

  1. Get to Services. (I was able to right click the Apache launch icon to get there.)
  2. Scroll down to MySQL. Click to start. This will get rid of the #2002 error. Now you’ll have a new error:

#1045 — Access denied for user ‘root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO)

  1. Edit the C:wampappsphpmyadmin3.5.1config.inc.php file, changing $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli'; to instead be= 'mysql'
  2. Open Services again and Stop MySQL
  3. While in Services, Start wampmysqld

This is convoluted, I know, but that’s what worked for me. Some posts may say you need a password in the config file, but you don’t. Mine is still «»

Hope this helps.

The problem might be with service mysql-server and apache2 running while system start. You can do the following.

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop

To stop already running default services

sudo service apache2 stop
sudo service mysql  stop

To remove the services completely, so that they won’t create problem in next system-restart, If you are in ubuntu(debian)

sudo apt-get remove apache2
sudo apt-get remove mysql-server

If you are in redhat or other, You could use yum or similar command to uninstall the services

Then start the lampp again

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

Also, don’t install mysql-server in the system, because it might start in system start-up, occupy the port, and create problem for mysql of lampp.

Go to phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php edit the line

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';

to

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'yourpassword';

This problem might occur due to setting of a password to root, thus phpmyadmin is not able to connect to the mysql database.

And the last thing change

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';

to

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';

Now restart your server. and see.

Though I’m using Mac OS 10.9, this solution may work for someone else as well, perhaps on Ubuntu.

In the XAMPP console, I only found that phpMyAdmin started working again after restarting everything including the Apache Web Server.

No problemo, now.

You can check it by connecting MySQL through the command prompt.

I think that your MySQL Database is blocked by firewall. Once stop all the services of antivirus software you have on your computer, then try to connect.

I faced this problem as well and rectified by blocking all firewalls..

A common solution, like every Systems engineer would do with a router that doesn’t work, is restart the service and it should work again. Pitifully this doesn’t work because you will need to clear the log files of InnoDB manually and we’ll show you how in this article.

Before apply the solution

In most of the cases, the error is caused just because MySQL can’t start at the port 3306. Probably because there’s another application using it, so be sure that no other application is using the port at the same time. If you already verified that the port used by MySQL isn’t being used by another application like Skype and the problem persists, then proceed with the solution mentioned in this article.

1. Go to the data folder of MySQL

To solve this problem, you need to locate the mysql folder in your xampp installation. This is usually just one version, so you may find it (with a default installation path) in C:xamppmysqldata. This folder contains mainly logs and all the databases on MySQL.

2. Backup Log files and delete them

Note

Normally, you can’t delete the files if the MySQL service is running. So if the service is active, stop it first and then try to remove the files.

Create a copy of the log files of mysql, namely the files ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1. These files are log files created during the runtime for InnoDB. Normally, removing them will solve your issue as they will be created later, however create a security copy of those files somewhere else, so in case that it doesn’t work, you can still restore them and leaving xampp as it was from the beginning.

Once you have a copy of those files somewhere else (other directory), delete them from the original directory and proceed with the next step.

3. Restart MySQL and Apache

As final step restart the MySQL and Apache services in case they are running with the xampp control panel. After restarting those services, try to access again PHPMyAdmin at the URL http://localhost/phpmyadmin and you should be able to use PHPMyAdmin again.

Happy coding !
