The issue is default ports. you need to browse manually to: localhost:7777, cause it's differs from the default localhost port, the GUI takes you.

As seen in GUI, Your mysql is open at port: 3307.

The default port for mysql is 3306.

phpmyadmin is trying to access mysql at the default port (3306), and so it fails.

Solution would be:

1. ether change your mysql to listen on port 3306.

2. or, change phpmyadmin to access mysql at your current port, 3307.

How to do that?

  1. As you see in the debug prints in your GUI, your not running XAMPP as admin. maybe if you run it as admin, it'll listen at port 3306. if that doesn't help, than:

  2. open your phpmyadmin config file (path: xampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php), and add this line:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port']='3307 ';

after:

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

now, your phpmyadmin will access mysql on the right port.

P.S.

Your ports are different than default, cause ether someone changed it manually in your config files, or that a different process is using them
