phpmyadmin help

[shibbi3]

hi everyone,

i am trying to use phpmyadmin to configure my database but i cant seem to connect to mysql server but i was able to before. does anyone know how to go about solving this error msg?

Error
MySQL said: 

#2003 - The server is not responding 

I am able to open up mysql command window and mess around with the database there so im not sure why phpmyadmin cant connect to it.

Can you post the following lines from your config file?

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port']
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket']
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type']
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']

Alrighty, here is it.

I managed to get into the setup script and make the config.inc file and copy it over to the main folder but it says this:

Error
MySQL said: 

#1130 - Host 'localhost' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

im not allowed to connect to my own server!  ???  :-\

[code]
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '3306';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
[/code]

any suggestions?
