"Take1" was pretty much covered in a thread beginning at http://lists.pdxlinux.org/pipermail/plug/2017-March/086079.html
It mostly worked ;/ I was getting error reports that I didn't understand. My gut says I had an unknown (probably unknowable) install error complicated by all but non-existent notes. There was a series of unrelated hardware and software problems that took me away from the project. I decided to start from scratch in an organized manner. This time it will be a PURE Debian install using Debian oriented documentation. Preferably *current* and authoritative. I have a brand new partition with Debian Stretch (IE testing). I have used Synaptic to install apache2, mysql, php. Apache2 apparently works as pointing browser to http://localhost/ displays the correct page. It effectively reminded me that I had not installed the apache2-doc package. I did so. I know of no way to test mysql and/or php at this point. I then installed the phpmyadmin package. An installer script started. It asked what database program was being used. I marked the box for mysql. It asked for "MySQL application password for phpmyadmin". I made one. It then asked for "password for database's administrative user". I made one. It *FAILED* displaying a box of potential causes - none of which made sense. ??? I can find much verbosity on the arcane wording of a plethora of configuration files. I find nothing leading me to how to use whatever script that I was obviously in. Not even name of said script :< I'm clueless. What should I be searching for?
