将文件连接到phpMyAdmin错误

Question

This problem I am having trouble with, I have been looking at it for a few hours now. So basically I am working on a registration form on my website, and while working on the php, I connected it to MySQL and Database with this line of code (which is the 6th line of code):

$mysqli = new mysqli('localhost:8080', 'root', 'mypass123', 'accounts');

I use Xampp on a Mac and when I try to register it works just not fully so, the problem is it shows this error:

Warning: mysqli::__construct(): (HY000/2002): Connection refused in /opt/lampp/htdocs/form.php on line 6

if this is not enough information, I am sorry but I am new.

Answer 1

PHP expects to use port 3306 for MySQL . So you need to open XAMPP, and change the XAMPP MySQL port to 3306, then restart the MySQL server.

Answer 2

Stop Xampp

Open xampp/mysql/bin/my.ini

Edit MySQL port to 3306

Restart Xampp

I'd say that it's already set to 3306 so just check what it's currently set to and update the setting in your PHP/phpMyAdmin to 3306 instead of 8080. 8080 is generally for the web server.
