Xampp 1.8.3 localhost phpmyadmin error code 2000#

Question

I need your help to resolve the below issue.

I have installed XAMPP server on a virtual machine having Windows 10. I changed the ports from 80 to 8080 and MySQL from 3306 to 3307. Still, I am getting an error when I try to access phpMyAdmin using localhost

Answer 1

Did you also change the phpmyadmin configuration to use the new port?

If not do it with the following steps:

1. Open the xampp controlpanel
2. click config behind apache -> then click phpMyAdmin
3. search for the line $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1'; and add $cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = 'your new port number'; under it
4. save the file
