phpmyadmin #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server. after installing mysql command line client

In case MySQL Server is up but you are still getting the error:

For anyone who still have this issue, I followed awesome tutorial http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/get-apache-mysql-php-phpmyadmin-working-osx-10-9-mavericks/

However i still got #1045 error. What really did the trick was to change localhost to 127.0.0.1 at your config.inc.php. Why was it failing if locahost points to 127.0.0.1? I don’t know. But it worked.

===== EDIT =====

Long story short, it is because of permissions in mysql. It may be set to accept connections from 127.0.0.1 but not from localhost.

The actual answer for why this isn’t responding is here: https://serverfault.com/a/297310
