LOL Well that's exactly what I needed! Installed 4.1 didn't even reboot.... So When I did reboot it finally worked!! Thanks!! Where exactly in the preference pane do you see about MySQL? What is the best GUI MySQL management utility.. anyone know?? I know there's phpMyAdmin , MySQL Lite , what else is there?? I like MySQL Lite and the Full version of these apps but they're just too darn expensive for the full version, phpMyAdmin is ok.
