title: Why randomly today I am blocked from phpmyadmin with a #2002 error?
body: <p>Today I was starting up XAMPP on mac osx mavericks. MySQL did not start. Apache did.
  I try to visit phpmyadmin and get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#2002 - No such file or directory
  The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured). 
   Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Could anyone give me directions as to whats going on? 
  Any questions please ask.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
