Webmin, phpMyAdmin installed and converted to MySQL

On this Mac OS X Server-based PowerBook G4/500MHz server, I installed Webmin a few days ago following these instructions. Tonight I got phpMyAdmin installed and then converted the database this blog uses from Berkeley DB to MySQL following these instructions. Thank God everything went smoothly! I am amazed at how well these Open Source applications work and am thrilled to be learning much more about getting programs installed Unix style. I have a lot more I want to share about my experiences with, for instance, getting DBI and DBD::mysql Perl modules installed but at the moment, I just have my notes on each step of the process in email messages that I have sent to myself. I will write up and post some of what I have learned here soon. I also majorly need to update our photo gallery — 8 months out of date! Time now to hit the sack though!
