After changing the data location of MySQL you also need to change the phpmyadmin settings accordingly to be able to login via phpmyadmin. You need to reconfigure it to use socket authentication and point to the new location of the mysql socket

If the new file system mounted under /data, edit the file /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php (CentOS/RHEL) or /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php (Ubuntu).

The data_type is probably set currently to tcp and needs to be changed to socket. Then set the new location of the socket:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '/data/mysql/mysql.sock';          // Path to the socket - leave blank for default socket
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'socket';       // How to connect to MySQL server ('tcp' or 'socket')

Restart Apache to apply the changes.
