New DEFINITELY fodder for KP
... so how exactly *would* I fix this? I have no clue. I guess there's a file somewhere I need to edit?

New I figured it out...
... although phpmyadmin STILL thinks I'm logging in as 'www-data'@'localhost' when I use the non-root login.

New Fixed it.
And by "fixed it" I mean "reinstalled it." But it's fixed all the same.

New Sorry, I thought you'd fixed it earlier.
Definitely the easiest way to fix that problem if you have an otherwise empty database is just re-install it. But there is a script installed with MySQL that creates the empty permissions tables so you can recover. I can't find it mentioned in the online docs, that's all.

As for the problem with phpMyAdmin; that's the configuration of phpMyAdmin. It can do security a few different ways. It sounds like you want it to use the MySQL users, which by default I don't think it does. The configuration file has the information to change it.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

New The funny thing is...
... I thought when I uninstalled phpmyadmin and then uninstalled mysql it would nuke all my existing databases (so I backed them up first!)

But when I reinstalled both I found that not only were the databases still intact, but all my users were still there as well -- only without the odd permissions problems!

All I had to do was give the root login a password.

New That is a setup question it asks you...
Debconf specifically asks if you want it to remove all data if you remove and purge the config. Unfortunately, it is a question at *INSTALLATION* and not at removal... DUH!
