I tried setting up a php/apache/mysql server manually, but I just couldn't
get all three things working together on my archaic windows 98 machine, so I
went and got an installer called phpdev, and although I know it's not the
preferred method, I'm really glad that I did, because everything works
great, but I've got a little bit of a problem, and I was hoping someone here
might know.

You see, phpdev is set up to only run on localhost, and I'd like to go live.
Not for serving, but just so I can say, "hey guys, look at this" when I need
some help or extra input. Phpdev also sets up phpmyadmin, which I didn't
even know about before installing phpdev, but it's set to run with the
default "root with no password" of mysql. When I change this default in my
RDBMS, I can no longer get phpmyadmin to work. So I guess I've got two
questions here.

How do I get my server to run on the internet, so I can invite people to
have a look? And how do I get phpmyadmin to work using a real user name and
password?

Thanks in advance,

sTony
