Well, gentlemen, I may finally have a clue! The guy who set up
my networking stuff and whatever database ports there are
did not install mysql50-server. Just the -client side. This
fellow is the salt-of-the-earth type, ETC, but evidently didn't
get into phpbb or whatever I've been trying to do.
The -server side is building on my serious antique Kayak now.
My thanks to both you guys; the dev.mysql.com site is chock full
of info and should give me a boost when I try again.
