#2003 - The server is not responding

[maheswaran]

Hi all,

I have plesk dedicated hosting server, when am connect the phpmyadmin using browser i could not login and i got only,

"#2003 - The server is not responding"

In services indicate Plesk mysql service is started, but plesk control panel shows mysql is not (have the red color indecation) start or listen.

By detail,i am installed xampp in the same sarver which plesk installed, when am start the xampp mysql service, i can login in phpmyadmin and i can see the tables (for xampp DB tables) but when am stop the xampp mysql and start the plesk mysql service (remember plesk control panel shows red color alert in mysql)... i think mysql point only xampp mysql server.. how can i point to plesk mysql...

How can i fix this....

Hi.

So, just to clarify...
You have two different server packages on the same computer? (Plesk and XAMPP)
Each has installed their own MySQL server, and only the one for XAMPP is working?

The first thing that comes to mind is a port conflict.
MySQL usually uses port 3306, and if you want two servers to co-exist peacefully, they must be set to use different ports.

If both MySQL servers are set to use the same port, only the first to start would work.
The second should not work. (On account of the port already being in use.)

If they are set to use different ports, perhaps the Plesk software is set to use the wrong one?
So when it tries to connect, it connects to the wrong one.

You need to figure out which ports your MySQL servers are on and set your server software to connect to the right ports.

The port MySQL uses is set in the my.cnf file. (Or my.ini, on Windows)

As an afterthought...
Is there a reason why you have two different MySQL servers?
Both of your server packages should be able to connect to the same MySQL server.
You should look into that ;)

Hi Atli,


Thanks for the reply. The reason for two mysql is want to run some projects in apache server instead of plesk IIS. so installed Xampp. I removed xampp and all its services, even plesk mysql server is not start.
