mysql服务器和phpmyadmin之间混乱

Question

After I installed XAMP on my ubuntu 12.10 it was working fine with mysql.

I could start mysql- sudo mysql -uroot -p . I connet it using 127.0.0.1:3306

Recently I installed phpmyadmin. When I start it it shows access denied. I got solution from web:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd stop
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

Now I start php myadmin it starts but now I could not connect with mysql on terminal.

Additionally phpmyadmin database does not shows all existing databse on mysql.

CAn anyone tell me what's going on here?

Answer 1

This question may help to connect through Terminal.

How to use phpmyadmin mysql database using terminal in ubuntu 10.4?

The Below command used to access phpmyadmin mysql database though terminal

/opt/lampp/bin/mysql -uusername -ppassword

phpmyadmin contains database files in /opt/lampp/var/mysql location. Your old mysql server may contains the database files in different location. That's y you unable to get the database list.
