[Mediawiki-l] Answer to my own silly question

[Ken McDonald]

A bit ago, I posted a question about not being able to get the MW web 
config interface to accept my superuser name and password. But, the fact 
that I was using the OS's root name/password, rather than MySQL's, was 
an unfortunate oversight on my part. <Thumps forehead>. All is well now.

Many thanks to everyone for all their help in getting this up,
Ken
