Yes, please, someone please tell how that mysql.sock file is working. I get the same general thing as well when I try to connect using just mysqladmin.

I am getting the following error when I try to run my index.php file. I think I have configured it correctly, but obviously I haven't. And my host basically told to go shove it. >>Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.3.1-rc1 >>Error >>MySQL said: >>Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) Does anyone have any suggestions on this one? My config file looks like this in the areas I think I may have screwed up: $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://www.iaacc.org/phpMyAdmin/'; $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri_DisableWarning'] = FALSE; $cfg['PmaNoRelation_DisableWarning'] = FALSE; /** * Server(s) configuration */ $i = 0; $i++; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = '*******'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '*******'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_comments'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['order'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['rules'] = array(); I have my login and password entered into the user/password area. Also, the actually database is online at mysql.iaacc.org and that might be different. If anyone can help, I would REALLY appreciate it.
