Added user to other mysql server on my machine.  No luck.

In addition, phpMyAdmin sadly reports:
The mcrypt extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.

so now I have to find the phpMyAdmin forum and ask them what the problem
is, so I can get back to the typo3 forum and ask what the problem is.  With luck
I won't have to contact the mcrypt forum and ask them what the problem is.
Actually I just wanted to volunteer my time to put together a website for a private
non-profit, but I guess they'll have to wait till I get all this "free" software running.

I'll give it a try.  Thanks for the suggestion.

command not found.  I would think it would be neat if typo3 new why exactly
why it can't talk to my database.  Pech gehabt.
