Since you're hosting at home it would be easy to just install phpmyadmin to a directory where you can reach it with your webbrowser (or the same directory where you installed xoops)

Download it here: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/

unpack the package and edit in the config.inc.php the follwing lines:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']          = 'localhost'; (server location)
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = 'root'; (database username)
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = ''; (user password)
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db']       = ''; (database name,leave blank like this to let phpmyadmin show you all the databases you have)


It's really the easy way if you don't know how to handle your MySQL via the shell.

I am bit new to Linux/mySQL/phpMyAdmin myself, so when I first setup phpMyAdmin I used my root account as well (providing you followed the above example verbatium).

However you may want to create a new db user for phpMyAdmin to authenticate with, I beleive it's a bit insecure to use the root account for this.

Also throw a htaccess file in your phpMyAdmin directory that way if anyone guesses it's path they won't be able to get to it without proper authentication.

Just my two cents.
