apache-httpd mysql php chrome-book phpmyadmin

                          I'm trying to install a LAMP stack on Ubuntu through crouton on a Chromebook (Acer c720p).

I was able to install the following packages

    apache2 mysql-client mysql-server php5 libapache2-mod-php5

and the localhost folder works correctly. When I try to install phpmyadmin I get the following error:

    ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'

The only way to exit from the sudo apt-get installation is to ignore the error. Then, if I go to localhost/phpmyadmin, phpmyadmin looks to work, but I cannot log in and I get

    #2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server
    Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
How do I configure MySQL so that phpmyadmin is able to connect to it?
