Hello, Thank you for the information. Are you referring to a mysql.sock or a mysqld.sock file? The problem was that there was no mysql.sock file anyware in my computer. The only socket file I could find was a mysqld.sock one. To generate the mysql.sock, I included the code below in the my.cnf file.
[client] port=3306 socket=/tmp/mysql.sock [mysqld] port=3306 socket=/tmp/mysql.sock key_buffer_size=16M max_allowed_packet=8M [mysqldump] quick Now it works, no error is generated. > On 7 Sep 2016, at 16:43, Ryan Schmidt <ryandes...@macports.org> wrote: > >> >> On Sep 6, 2016, at 8:33 AM, Ignatios Athanasiadis <ignatha...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >> Hi all, >> >> I have followed the links below to generate a phpmyadmin server and link it >> to mysql. >> >> https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/Apache2 >> https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MySQL >> https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/PHP >> https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MAMP >> >> and >> https://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/get-apache-mysql-php-and-phpmyadmin-working-on-osx-10-11-el-capitan/ >> >> However I am getting the error : >> #2002 - No such file or directory — The server is not responding (or the >> local server's socket is not correctly configured). >> >> As stated in the last link I try to make a link to mysql.sock as: >> sudo mkdir /var/mysql >> sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock >> However, there is no file mysql.sock in /tmp/. >> >> Do you have any suggestions? >> Thank you very much in advance. > > I think the third-party instructions you're referring to are talking about a > non-MacPorts version of MySQL, which may put its socket file in a different > location. MacPorts MySQL versions don't put their socket in either /tmp or > /var/mysql nor is there a good reason for you to try to make it do so.
