Too funny. :) I got the issue somewhat resolved. I was being a slacker and wanted to administer MySQL with phpmyadmin, and I thought it would be an easy fix, but I opted for the command line eventually. While phpmyadmin still doesn't work despite mysql.so existing on my system (Mysql.so was Outlook insisting on proper capitalization), I got everything else working, in this particular case MySQL, via the command line. And I posted here, assuming it was linked between PHP and MySQL, being that phpmyadmin is written in PHP and works off MySQL. Does not appear to be the case however!
