Can someone please tell me what I need to do in my /etc/my.cnf or can I just forward tcp 3306 to the server and it will work?

Hi
I have no problem understanding why you don't quite understand what I'm talking about and that's because I don't know either what I'm talking about... :)
I have completely misunderstood the whole phpmyadmin consept. I posted this message whithout using my brain...
Sorry. Thanks a lot for your info and help.
I will fix this now...
