well, lets just say i tried searching for everything
some key phrases had more success than others. my main problem now, tho, is i don't know enough about mysql or mysql errors to know which advice to follow. all of the problems seem similar, but not identical, and i don't wanna screw anything up more than it is.
the link you sent me to seems to indicate i should check out my error logs for further info, but the admin-panel-provided logs are giving me what appears to be the same (or similar) error message.

i'm already dumb, now you throw in confusing??
and its 4 am?? forget it! ;-)
i created the admin account mentioned
here in case one of the pros wants to take it to wherever the next step is.
i'm definitely interested in learning
how to figure this kinda stuff out, though. i hate completely not knowing things (despite my persistance to do so)
