Athon!
Thank you very much for bringing this BUG out!
I killed 1-2 hours of my time trying to understand why I can't connect to the server.
Then I found this bug report and changed localhost to 127.0.0.1 and it worked!
This is one of the most annoying and frustrating bugs ever. It must be fixed!
For search engines, here is the error I got:
Warning: mysqli_real_connect() ... [2002] ... connection refused. (trying to connect via
tcp://localhost:3306)
Warning: mysqli_real_connect() ... (HY000/2002) ... connection refused. (trying to connect via
tcp://localhost:3306)

I agree with anthon.
Someone has to fix this :)

This doesn't have anything to do with the hosts file or DNS resolution.
mysqlnd (rightly or wrongly) specially interprets "localhost" to mean a local
socket, to mimic some of the behavior of MySQL command-line utilities.

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Its disabled :)
Still no result hmm.
I blame Microsoft for this. lol

There are dozen of reports about that on Windows and it is unrelated to this problem.
A work around for the windows issue will be present in 5.3.4, in the meantime you can disable ::1 in
your windows' host file.

Hello.
I am able to reproduce this issue with:
Windows 7 build 7600 (Ultimate Edition) x86
PHP Version 5.3.3 MSVC6
mysqlnd 5.0.7-dev - 091210 - $Revision: 300533 $
MySQL 5.1.50
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download phpmyadmin
2. Extract on html/www/public_html (or similar)
3. Try to connect to mysql (example: login)
4. It won't work, stop php
5. Edit config.inc.php and change localhost to 127.0.0.1
6. No more errors. I guess this needs a fix
