#2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server

I am working on a windows server 2012 and trying to get PHPMyAdmin working. I cant get it to connect to the MySQL by root user or a non root user. I have searched and searched all over google. everywhere I saw it said to set allowroot and change localhost to 127.0.0.1 in the config.inc.php file. At first I could not find this file but then I read you have to change config.default.php to it and put it in the root folder. I did that. and here is what I changed

 $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = "127.0.0.1"
//already had the next one set
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot'] = true

I still cant get it to login from any user on MySQL, and I keep getting the error

#2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server.

config.inc.php: http://u16626886.onlinehome-server.com/config.inc.zip

Testing PHP and MySQL: http://u16626886.onlinehome-server.com:801/test.php

I figured out the problem just need to solve it now. If I put MySQL on the C: drive it works fine but if I put it on the D: drive, which is where I want it, PHP can not connect to it. Does anyone know why that is?

It may be Mysql service is not running, try to start Mysql service

Sometimes Mysql Service May Not Run..
 Try the following
   1. Remove/Unstall the service
            a) Start Cmd As Administrator
            b) Type Mysql --remove
   2. Restart Pc
   3. Install
        a) Start Cmd As Administrator
        b) Use Cd ../ To locate the path for Mysqld (For me it is in C:\xampp\mysql\bin)
        c)Type mysqld --Install
   4. Restart Pc

This is a 2002 MySQL Socket error, we can resolve this quickly by executing following command

sudo mkdir /var/mysql 
sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

Note: Above path is based on MAC, so you can change the path according to your OS

Run SKYPE then using the menus do this:

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection

Un-Check the checkbox next to 'Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incomming connections'

Now restart SKYPE for these changes to take effect.
