setting up phpmyadmin (vers 2.10.2) problems

[glillibridge]

On the server in question, we loaded mysql ver 4 and then a second instance of mysql, ver 5.0.41. Ver 4 was set on port 3306, the default and ver 5 on port 3305. In the config.inc.php I set two servers up, one pointing at ver 4 and another at ver 5. The ver 4 works fine with the following;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '3506' ;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';

Ver 5 config lines are
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '3505' ;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
When I try to log in I get the following error:
"2913 - Lost connection to MySQL server during query"
I have tried several variations(changing host to localhost, adding socket line), but nothing seems to work. I would appreciate any ideas about this problem and what I can try next.

Thanks, Gordon

Hi Gordon. Welcome to TSDN.

Knowing nothing (usefull) about phpMyAdmin, my first thought was that the MySQL server is refusing your connection, which could indicate that your login info is incorrect.

Could it be possible that the MySQL server is not running propperly?

I've been meaning to test this, so I'll install it and see what I can find out.
