I'm running XAMPP, however my phpmyadmin is disabled I've done everything to activate, there is some other option, follow below the error.
# 2002 - File or directory not found
The server is not responding (or the local server socket does not is set correctly)
Try to do the following, stop all services and boot again, use the commands below to stop the services
sudo opt/lampp/lampp stop
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
OR
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo service mysql stop
After stopping the services, start again
sudo opt/lampp/lampp start
Try again to open phpmyadmin again

How to take Mysql errors and live in peace! :)
If you access mysql from the terminal and the error refers to the lack of existence of a directory, then you may have to install mysql-server, like this: sudo apt-get install mysql-server
2 - If you try to enter mysql by phpmyadmin and give the following error: phpmyadmin ERROR - # 2002, or something like that, you might have two mysql installed and running at the same time, which causes conflicts. To solve this, just quit mysql and leave only the xampp running, like this: cd /etc/init.d # ./mysql stop # ./apache stop -After this, just start mysql inside the lampp, like this: -in the / opt folder: opt / lampp / lampp start, or, sudo opt / lampp / lampp -or inside the lampp folder, like this: sudo ./lampp start
3- If you see an error of type: Existing configuration file (config.inc.php) is not readable ..., it means that you have given a file change or execution permission, this file is read-only , and mysql does not start if you do not change the permission, so just type: -procure the file, in my case it looks like this: cd opt / lampp / phpmyadmin / -in the / phpmyadmin directory, have the file config.inc.php, then inside the directory, type: sudo chmod 700 config.inc.php -Thus the file can be executed by mysql without any interruption.
