Cannot connect to MySQL with PMA

[joximu]

Hi

ok, the config-file is ok - it worked in my installation (just copy&paste - no need to change anything). I hope there are no special characters in the password...

second: the "hung" in the installation is a sign that there are to few "random events" in the system (entropy - just search for this word in the forum). You have to do some keyboard entries (maybe on a second ssh connection).
IMPORTANT: do not Ctrl-C the process!!! better put a self made password in...

Third: Of course there is mysql-support in PHP5 in debian etch. You have to install all pakets which are in the package-list - just follow the installation documentation exactly.

If just pma does not work - well I'm afraid there still is something wrong on your system...
