[SOLVED] phpMyAdmin Problems (relating to MySQL)

[infinitus]

Hello all,

 

I currently have a large problem involving the phpMyAdmin in WAMP; but first let me explain what had happened.

 

When I first installed WAMP, everything was working perfectly. phpMyAdmin opened well and basically everything ran. However, one day phpMyAdmin refused to work. At first, the problem was that the mysqli extension was not loading (that problem got fixed, although I don't remember how).

Now, phpMyAdmin reports the following error message:

-------------------------

Welcome to phpMyAdmin

 

Error

 

MySQL said:

#2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

-------------------------

 

I've tried literally everything, restarting the service, making edits in php.ini and my.ini, reinstalling, rereinstalling, and I went so far as to reformat and install Windows all over again... but still no luck...

 

Can anybody help me, please?

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary

or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,

or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.

We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose

the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong

and this may fail.

 

key_buffer_size=16777216

read_buffer_size=262144

max_used_connections=0

max_threads=151

threads_connected=0

It is possible that mysqld could use up to

key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 133305 K

bytes of memory

Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out

where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went

terribly wrong...

006B8853    mysqld.exe!???

The manual page at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/crashing.html contains

information that should help you find out what is causing the crash.

I reinstalled MySQL manually by running the installer and that helped. I used http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,203894.0.html

as a guide.
