Solution

  • All you need to do is to click on the WAMP server icon in the system tray and go to mySQL and my.ini. Open the file in a text editor like notepad. At the top of the page there should be a line

    socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
    

    change that to

    socket = c:/tmp/mysql.sock
    

    Save the file and try running phpmyAdmin. Restart wamp. It should work perfectly.

    If this does not fix the error for you let me know and I will try and help.
