Hello,  
I’m a new user of rancher.  
I wanted to create a new stack with phpmyadmin and mysql but something does not work.

This is my docker-compose.yml, it works perfectly with docker-compose without rancher.

db:  
image: mysql  
environment:  
- MYSQL\_ROOT\_PASSWORD=root  
- MYSQL\_USERNAME=root  
phpmyadmin:  
image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin  
links:  
- db:db  
ports:  
- “8080:80”

When i’m trying to connect with phpmyadmin i have an error #2002 - Operation timed out — The server is not responding (or the local server’s socket is not correctly configured).

Thank you for your help !

It’s not clear, are you unable to connect to PhpMyAdmin, or are you unable to connect to MySQL?

Don’t forget that MySQL has to be started twice, once to initialize, once to run.
