Regarding the install of phpMyAdmin - RTFM, it needs to be installed in a location below your apache server on this machine and then configured - which will require you to read and understand the instructions for configuration.
Geez--I don't know what it is with you guys and your obsession with phpMyAdmin! It ain't gonna work, IF MySQL ain't running in the first place! Why bother to get phpMyAdmin going, when MySQL won't even show me that simple monitor program that runs in the Konsole window when you type "mysql -u <username> -p" ??? I have installed Apache, and everything that has the word "Apache" in it, as well as everything that has "php" in it's name, and everything that has "mysql" in it's name--this, plus all dependencies, have all been installed, using YAST. And when I did this, and enabled MySQL under the RunLevel Editor in YAST, that was when MySQL's monitor program worked. But now, it has stopped working; and just "FAIL"s, as you can see above, and in the error messages that I sent in the last Email. I have already uninstalled everything and wiped clean, the whole entire installation of MySQL and re-installed it all, once already. And that's when it finally ran; so why did it stop again? I do not understand! There is nothing in the "Troubleshooting" that I can find. And I have "RTFM", thank you very much! It assumes very quickly that you can at least get the monitor program running; meaning, that the daemon mysqld is running. I hope this clarifies the issue. My father keeps goading me to just go ahead and go back to Windows, and get Access. I don't want to give up, but I really need this database system working, and to KEEP working, so that I don't have to re-install it every other week, just to get it running again. Thanks, --Mark VII
