title: PHPMyAdmin access denied, invalid settings
body: <p>I am on BigSur, have installed MySQL Workbench (although I am not sure why, just following a guide).  When I try to go to PHPMyAdmin I get several lines of error:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>a)  mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory</p>
  <p>b)  phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server
  rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and
  password in your configuration and make sure that they correspond to
  the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I am very new to this and not sure where to go to &quot;check the host, username and password in your configuration&quot; or where to go to check &quot;the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server&quot; (that's me, but where do I find what I set originally?)
  On  steep learning curve and followed a couple of tutorials...which may have lead me astray.
  Any 'fairly lay' help would be much appreciated...</p>
