I gave up trying to get it to work, and installed XAMPP instead...

What is the standard login outta the box for this?
(- I assumed it was --- Server: puppypc ---- Login: nobody---- password: woof)
But that doesn't work.

I had the same trouble. My monkey and php works properly, but i was no able to connect with mysql.
So I eliminate the old password and put another one.
The whole thing comes from this page: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/442

The mysqld_safe is in /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe, and so do mysql.
The password must be written within the "'".
Now I have a light lampp.
say I will put woof as password for root.
stop your mysql. I do this from menu->netword->monkey webserver
open a console. menu->utility->urxvt terminal emulator
write in it:
/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
this put a background process, i think.
then write:
mysql --user=root mysql
this calls mysql for the user root in the database mysql, where are the passwords.
now write:
update user set Password=PASSWORD('woof') WHERE User='root';
this overwrite the password for root, and makes it woof.
now write :
exit
it is done. Now you have a root user with woof as password.... but inaccesible for php. (it works from console, not from the server).

Perhaps a lampp from apachefriends is a ugly but straight solution. I continue tryng.

-as you can see, I'm not english native speaker. Sorry.

This is a great web server! works right after install and little configuration is necessary in puppy 5.1.

I thought I would post this, after attempting it myself.

Here's my setup:
