Mysql had already been installed. I don't know why I got the failed install message. Since Mysql was already configured, I opted NOT to use dbconfig-common to configure the settings. Then I got the error.
Late last night I did a purge & remove of phpmyadmin and repeated the process ACCEPTING to have dbconfig-common configure the settings. That fixed it. Thanks for the quick reply, nice to see that. I hope the previous information helps.
