No connection could be made because the target mac

Question

When I was trying to connect my phpmyadmin on my XAMPP, it gave an error:

#2002 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 

Can any help me to resolve it?

Answer 1

Assuming you're trying to connect to http://localhost/phpmyadmin.

From XAMPP control panel start both the Apache module and the MySQL module.

Answer 2

Go to :

xampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

open the file config.inc.php Go to line no:31

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';

Change the line to :

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'root';

Restart your system.

Answer 3

Open xampp control panel and click on config in front of MySQL after that open my.ini file and replace 3306 to another port like 3307 in all file. it will change your MySQL port which was conflicting with another application.
