phpmyadmin-mysql conection probs

hello,

i have recently installed & config'd mysql all seems to be fine with command
line,
however i have installed phpmyadmin and keep getting complaints about

'cant connect to local mysql server through socket /..blah/..blah'

i have checked the php.ini file and everything seems to be in order
i have been using webmin with no complaints, but would prefer to use
phpmyadmin.

any suggestions?

many thanks
dave

p.s. i am still a bit newbie(ish) so forgive me if i have posted to the
wrong place ;-)

Are you sure your MySql server is running?

$ /etc/init.d/mysqld status

If not, try and start it:

$ /etc/init.d/mysqld start

If /etc/init.d/mysqld does not exist, it's not registered as a service.

$ chkconfig --add mysqld
Hope that helps,
John
