Hi although I am far from being an expert, the general picture goes
something like this:

Webcalendar stores all of its data in a database - it seems you want to
use a mysql database.
First you have to have access to an existing database. You create a user
account that webcalendar will use to access the database, and create
some tables where webcalendar will store its data.
(http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/webcalendar/webcalendar/docs/WebCalendar-SysAdmin.html?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/html#dbsetup)
Phpmyadmin is an application providing a web interface for managing
mysql databases (i.e. it can be used to create the database user and the
tables for webcalendar), it is not required for webcalendar. The
database user and the tables can be created manually as well from a shell.

Next you copy webcalendar to your server and run the install script. For
this you have to provide infomration from the previous step, i.e. you
will have to instruct webcalendar which username to use when accessing
the database, which table to use, etc.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/webcalendar/webcalendar/docs/WebCalendar-SysAdmin.html?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/html

Once you are done with these, you can login to webcalendar from your
browser, and create the users for the webcalendar - these are the guys
who want to do their scheduling online.

I recommend to check the faq of webcalendar apart from reading the
system administrator guide.

Sorry, the above is not too well-structured, but I am in a hurry.
Hope it heps (some).

Regards,

Robert

Where are you stuck?


Just looking for an overview of what connects with what, what "user" means in various contexts (I'm not administering the MySQL database that belongs to the hosting company, for example; I just need to connect to it on behalf of WebCalendar) and where I plug that information in, etc., etc. These applications look as if they'll be easy enough to administer once they're installed; the issue is installing them. Say what you will about Windows, at least the installation process has been automated for most apps.
