Q: 

phpMyAdmin is throwing a #2002 cannot log in to the mysql server phpmyadmin

Hi there!

I have installed MySQL server enterprise 5.1 on my local machine and now I want to install phpMyAdmin.. but it does not work.

I have unrared phpMyAdmin to my server root directory and browsed to "localhost/phpMyAdmin/setup/index.php", started a new server and the only setting I changed was filling in my MySQL password in the field "Password for config auth"

So now when I am trying to log in I get a error message saying "#2002 cannot log in to the mysql server phpmyadmin"

does anyone know whats wrong? I have been having problem with this since yesterday...

A: 

Did you set up the MySQL on your machine? It sounds like you're using Windows; MySQL runs as a "Service" on your machine (right-click My Computer -> Manage -> Services).

yes thats correct. I am using windows, MySQL is running as a service called MySQL and it is running. I also use IIS as a server not apache
