I was trying to change table data in a mysql database. Phpmyadmin appeared to work ok but somewhere along the line something got screwed up.

When I try to start Phpmyadmin now it quits in the middle of loading. Firebug underlines something that says 'mooRainbow undefined'.

I've tried to apt-purge Phpmyadmin including dropping the php database and then re-installing it. It does the same thing even when I went from version 3. something to version 4. something. This leads me to believe there is something wrong somewhere else. I don't have a clue where to even start looking!!!

Any help to fix this would be appreciated greatly!!

If you have access to start a terminal on the computer, can you log into mysql from the command line?

If so, that would isolate the problem to phpmyadmin.

If you are using the lampp, the login socket will not be in the default location. You will need to point the mysql login to the location of lampp's mysql socket (usually /opt/lampp/var/mysql/msyql.sock).

Thanks Frankbell.

YES. I can run MySQL from the command line with no trouble. I can also run my php programs accessing the proper MySQL database.

I looked for '/opt/lampp/var/mysql/msyql.sock', however, and did not find '/opt/lampp/var/mysql/' nor did I find 'mysql.sock'.

I found /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, however. Is there some tweak to the phpmyadmin database that needs to be done?
