When I try to login my PHPMyAdmin, I get the following error messages:
#2002 - No such file or directory — The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).
mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.

but after rebooting my droplet, I am able to use my WordPress and PHPMyAdmin normally without any errors!
It’s really frustrating to get that error randomly! Please help me.

Hello,
I would recommend changeing
localhost
to127.0.0.1

PHPmyAdmin file.It should look something like this after the change:
That way when using
127.0.0.1
PHPmyAdmin would make a TCP connection which should work.Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
