Problems connecting to mysql using phpMyAdmin

[Ali A Samii]

I am unable to connect to mysql using phpMyAdmin. I get a #2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server error.

I have restarted mysql, reset the password, and rerun the security configuration all from the command line without any problems.

But when I try to connect from phpMyAdmin, I get the #2002 error.

I googled it and there are recommendations to change the config.inc.php file and change the following line

From
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
to
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';

Which I did, but it made no difference. Makes sense that it made no difference as I have already defined 127.0.0.1 in my /etc/hosts file.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks
