cPanel phpMyAdmin Error #2002

[kristine]

Hello I have started to get:

phpMyAdmin - Error

#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)


What might be the reason and can I fix it ?

You may try to reinstall cPanel with:

# /scripts/upcp --force

Be sure you have not entered special characters in MySQL root password.

Yes it was the MySQL root password. I have changed it and phpMyAdmin is working fine again.

phpMyAdmin is not working with special characters and dots in MySQL root password

You won't need the MySQL root password changed normally - so not sure why you guys are editing it :P

Sometimes when you have phpmyadmin error you need just to reboot your VPS and all will be ok.

Yea, thats a bug in cPanel, they should have it solved by 11.24.
