The problem is even more tricky if you have lighttpd as web server. Could not find anything to solve this issue. This would worth a note on phpmyadmin site too. Thanks man.

I have just stumbled my way through this very problem and figured it out myself, sort of. I noticed that my PHP would connect to a MySQL server when I invoked the script from the command line, but not from a browser. Ah HA! Could selinux be stopping Apache from... ? So you 'tail /var/log/messages' and it tells you: For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l c88fab62-2227-485a-b775-9c1a18b82fba which in turn tells you to setsebool. c88fab62-2227-485a-b775-9c1a18b82fba, mind you. Common sense, right? Now if only I had found this post about four hours ago… I have just stumbled my way through this very problem and figured it out myself, sort of.
