I hope you can help me find out why I can't connect. Here are the details on my situation: I am trying to access the local mysql instance on my local computer, not on a LAN nor a remote server on the internet. Using 127.0.0.1 in Base returns the same error (111) as using localhost. Using mysql socket (/opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock) instead of server/port returns the same error (111) I do not understand what to configure in my.cfg file, as I can access my mysql server - using my browser (using url localhost or 127.0.0.1) - using mysql from the command line I mentionned MariaDB because I am usig a XAMPP server, and it uses mariadb On the command line, I just call it "mysql" phpmyadmin indicates the following: - Server : Localhost via UNIX socket - Type of server : MariaDB - Version of server : 10.1.37-MariaDB - Utilisateur : root@localhost Also, I do not understad why it stopped working at a certain point As far as I remember, I have been using xampp for a number of years. As for the my.cfg file, the [mysqld] part indicates : # The MySQL server [mysqld] user = mysql port=3306 socket = /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock skip-external-locking</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
