The fact that you can access it via your web browser using 127.0.0.1 or localhost is down to the way your phpmyadmin instance is configured, which redirects the call to the Unix socket. The msyql connection setup wizard used to allow you to specify the path to the Unix socket (this is not the same as the URL using an IP address), but I believe that this is now hardcoded to some usual default of a normally installed Linux mysql/MariaDB server, i.e. /var/local/tmp/ or some such directory, so: - either you create a symbolic link between your actual mysql Unix socket and the place where LO expects it to be (with appropriate privileges), or you reconfigure your server to create a Unix socket in the place where LO expects to find it. - or your reconfigure your mariadb server to use TCP/IP (see the bind-address entry) instead of acessing the Unix socket - this is generally done by editing the my/cnf file, but beware of the safety considerations in doing so (especially if you have access from outside your network into your LAN.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
