[Mac] [PhpMyAdmin] [2002] No such file or directory

I downloaded the latest version from phpMyAdmin's official website, unzipped it to/library/webserver/documents, and renamed the folder phpMyAdmin.

Then enter localhost/phpmyadmin/in the browser, fill in the user name password but prompt [2002] No such file or directory.

On the internet to find a lap, it seems that the location of the mysql.sock is wrong.

First, open the terminal and find the location of Mysql.sock.

sudo Find /-name Mysql.sock

The results are as follows:

Find:/DEV/FD/3: Not a directoryfind:/dev/fd/4: Not a Directory/private/tmp/mysql.sock

Then check whether the directory/var/mysql/exists

ls -la/var/mysql

The results in my computer are as follows:

LS:/var/mysql:no such file or directory

Because it does not exist, create a new directory:

sudo mkdir /var/mysql

Next, create a symbolic link for mysql.sock, and map to the new directory.

sudo LN -s/private/tmp/mysql.sock/var/mysql/mysql.sock

I re-opened the localhost/phpmyadmin/in the browser, I can log in successfully.
