As I understand it, I had installed XAMPP under the root.

When I login phpmyadmin, under the pma user, I don't have any privileges to add/change/delete users.

Why? What could I have done wrong?

Why?

This special user don't need more privileges!

What could I have done wrong?

Read the docu , and use user "root" without password.

You are a busy guy...

I did some more searching and found this (which you are repeating yourself):

What I don't understand is where you login. Where do I login as root? Is it /localhost/phpmyadmin?

Also, I ran the security piece and added a password to MSQL... do I use that password for root?

BINGO again! Thanks, I'm in...

When I add a user, would this allow that user to access the server via the internet?
Ex: I have a friend John who I would like to be able to access my server to grab and put files.

He would web browse: http:/myhostname:portno/john/ ?

Can I make this user have a password?

Does the use john also have to be setup as a user in the OS?

Well, I was figure out how get a user and password using the httpd.conf file.

What now I don't understand is how/where (if at all) the sql database.

I'll ask that question in a new thread.
