Problems connecting to mysql using phpMyAdmin

[Ali A Samii]

OK, as it seems to be par for the course for me, I now am having another issue.

I am trying to restore a joomla installation using Akeeba Backup.  Should be very straight-forward. It uses a php script, runs the extortion, then runs the installer. I've done it many times without a hiccup. Now, I have a hiccup. The extortion happens without any errors. Then, when I run the installer, I get the attached page (zipped webarchive since unzipped it is too large to pass).
