Answer 1

I've got this error

mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory

from PhpMyAdmin running on my Mac Mojave, with MySQL server also running on my Mac.

Fixed it by editing PhpMyAdmin/config.inc.php and changed the line:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';

to

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
