Now that you are there, look at MySqlCC and http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/ Now here is a problem. I have been trying all of this on two different PCs. One has SuSE 8.0 and the other has SuSE 9.0. I got mysql working on both. I tried that link and phpMyAdmin worked on the 9.0 installation but not on the 8.0 installation. On the 8.0 PC I get
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in config.inc.php and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server. Error MySQL said: #2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) Both databases are setup the same (as far as I know). In each I gave permissisions to localhost and any host. I don't know why this doesn't work. Any suggestions?
