Mysqli_Real_Connect(): (Hy000/2002): No Such File or Directory

cannot connect to MySQL server (HY000/2002)

Seen that you changed in config.inc.php:

localhost to 127.0.0.1

Well you could try not doing it by just adding the port-number where the mysql runs like in the example below:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost:3306';

Actually, I too had same problem and tried as you did which is ultimately answered everywhere in different forums.

Finally, I tried the above and worked for me. hopefully, it does work for you as well.

Good luck!

Getting error mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory when I try to access my project on live server

MySQL connection driver does not get any meaningful server at the location of localhost. So use,

'hostname' => '127.0.0.1' 

rather than

'hostname' => 'localhost'
