When I was trying to connect my phpmyadmin on my XAMPP, it gave an error:

#2002 - No connection could be made because the target m         


        

Answer 1

Please try changing connect_type in your config.inc.php from 'tcp' to 'http'. This file exists in the phpMyAdmin top level directory.

Existing line looks like this:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';

New line should be looking like this:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'http';
