Same problem. UniServer Nano 5.7.0 running from USB stick on Win7.
The start page on localhost is displayed, I can enter apanel, but I can't access PhpMyAdmin:
Errors:MySQL said: Documentation
#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
Maybe a file path in configuration somewhere is incorrect?

With a freshly downloaded version of 5.7.1 extracted to my local drive phpmyadmin works perfectly out of the box for me.

Do you have an entry for

127.0.0.1 localhost

in your 'windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts' file?

I'm running Win 7 64 bit with firefox

i had this same problem with windows xp with Uniform Server 5.7.4nano- and the error MySQL said: Documentation
#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
so i asked a friend of mine to help with it you should also make sure you are using a legal version of windows or you havent used a WGA patch that was a question that was asked to me if you do it will look something like this

127.0.0.1 localhost

#block wga
127.0.0.1 mpa.one.microsoft.com

if it does just remove the block wga and it should work and since mine didnt have that and it still didnt work
i let him remote to my computer and found there was 127.0.0.1 localhost and one other thing but it still didnt work
however there is another fix he showed me that may work for you

Go To:

UniServer\home\admin\www\phpMyAdmin and open config.inc.php

Look for

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']		 = '127.0.0.1';	  // MySQL hostname or IP address

should be line 56 or close to it
and replace with

//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']		 = '127.0.0.1';	  // MySQL hostname or IP address
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']		 = 'localhost';	  // MySQL hostname or IP address

save and close then try to access phpmyadmin

hope this helps it worked for me
