hey edoc,
XAMPP has MySqlAdmin pre-installed. try going to 'http://localhost'. There you can read more about xampp and access MySqlAdmin.
One thing you have to do before you can access MySqlAdmin (read in the localhost page) is to run '/opt/lampp/lampp security'. This sets passwords for the server, etc. Once this is done, you can get to admin and the databases.
Hope it helps!
E

Done, thanks!

I am in there now. Looks good EXCEPT ...
STATUS says MySQL is DEACTIVATED
Code: | /opt/lampp/lampp start | says it is "already running"

This is apparently not an entirely unique problem.
I found this discussion - though it is written for a Microsoft version of windows version:

Between the original post and the following posts I'm not sure where to start ...

Edoc,
I didn't have that problem on the Lucid 5.2.8 - what puppy did you say you are running?
Anyway, I would stop lampp (/opt/lampp/lampp stop). Reboot the system, then run '/opt/lampp/lampp security', then restart lampp.
NOTE - found this out the hard way - make sure you stop lampp before you turn off or re-boot the computer. does nasty things along the way and you will loose the MySql eventually.
if this fails, uninstall xampp, reboot, re-install xampp, do security before starting xamp, and see what that does.
let me know how it turns out. Maybe someone else can do you better if this doesn't fix it.
E

Exprimo version 5x15
I stopped lampp.
I rebooted.
I ran security (left passwords as I had previously changed them)
I restarted lampp.
Note: Among other messages XAMPP says it was starting MySQL.
still returns Quote: | "command not found" | error.
XAMPP for Linux still shows MySQL Database DEACTIVATED
I have to run a couple of errands - will uninstall and reinstall a bit later.
Little is ever simple ... sigh.
Thanks!

Off course: Neither of the things Xampp installs and run are in the system path. You shuold cd where mysql binary is in your xampp version, and ./mysql.
If just trying to do some security measures, use the security assistant first:
Code: | /opt/lampp/lampp security |
and it will prompt you about passwords for the services involved.

If your installation is under /opt or symlinked there, once lampp is up and running, this will make it:
Code: | cd /opt/lampp/bin && ./mysql -u root -p |
then enter your password, and you're there.
Yes, it cames with phpmyadmin; once is running, point your browser at:
Code: | http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ |

Thanks!
Let's see what I can break next.

Odd thing ...
I just entered some CREATE USER strings and then tried to "quit" and it won't quit and return me to the # prompt.
Why would that happen, please?
Thanks!

Noooooo! NOT FORTRAN!
When I was in college I wanted to change majors to computer science.
No one warned me that FORTRAN was a math-heavy language - a poor place for a math-challenged student to begin.
Had to drop that course!

I tried "quit", "quit;", "QUIT", "QUIT;", "\h", "help;", and all were ignored.
Ctrl-C got me an "exit!" then
"Aborted" then
#
Does that mean the CREATE USER work I did in MySQL was lost?
Any idea why "quit" fails, please?
This is the latest in several undocumented roadblocks ...
