I was following instructions all over the internet and when I configured both MySQL and phpMyAdmin. phpMyAdmin gave me some errors and when I try to connect to mywebsite.com/phpmyadmin I get these two errors

#2002 - No such file or directory
The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).

and

Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.

  • @DaveM Without enough information, no real answers can be given. So ask for clarification in the comment and not as an answer. – Xander Rayeon Oct 22 '17 at 17:40

    What value (if any) have you in the phpMyAdmin configuration file `config.inc.php` for $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'], $cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'], and $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] ? Which phpMyAdmin version are you using? Can you connect from the command line client? – ibennetch Oct 23 '17 at 02:56
