PhpMyAdmin error #2003 - The server is not responding

I'm trying to set up mysql and phpMyAdmin for development purposes on my localhost. I can get to the login screen fine (using cookie authentication), but when I enter the username and password, the browser displays

Quote:

ERROR #2003 - The server is not responding

My config.inc.php looks like

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'SECRET'; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE AUTH! */



/* Servers configuration */

$i = 0;

$i++;

/* Authentication type */

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';

/* Server parameters */

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';



?>

What am I doing wrong?

I finally solved the problem by re-running MySQLInstanceConfig.exe.

I'm not sure what the original problem was, but it's fixed now. Thank you all for your help.

Alright, I guess the problem wasn't really solved, it was only temporarily delayed. Even though it was working last night, when I restarted the computer today, I was given the same error message and had to fix it the same way.

I think I have found the root problem of this error. It appears as if MySQL isn't automatically starting when the Apache server starts (Windows XP). This seems like it should be an easy problem to fix, but I still don't know how. If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

Those services are separate and one shouldn't start another. Check Control Panel -> Administration -> Services and see whether MySQL service is set to Manually or Automatically. Automatic will start the service every time when XP is booted.
