title: phpMyAdmin on GAE - Authentication
body: <p>I have setup phpmyadmin on GAE using the tutorial provided @ <a href="https://gaeforphp-blog.appspot.com/2013/05/26/setting-up-phpmyadmin-on-app-engine/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://gaeforphp-blog.appspot.com/2013/05/26/setting-up-phpmyadmin-on-app-engine/</a></p>
  <p>The version of the app (phpmyadmin) can be accessed without problems, but I cannot seem to authenticate against my Cloud SQL instance.</p>
  <p>I have tried both cookie and config type authentication without success. However I have discovered, with cookie auth, after submitting the username password, the page just reloads without errors.</p>
  <p>If I use config auth, I get the following error on the page:</p>
  <h1>2002 - Unable to find the socket transport &quot;tcp&quot; - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?</h1>
  <p>The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).</p>
  <p>All google searches point me to ssl library in php. Has anyone been able to get phpmyadmin to work on GAE?</p>
  <p>Would have preferred if the actual blog entry (@ gaeforphp-blog.appspot.com) would support comments to ask the question to the Author, unfortunately thats not the case.</p>
