mysql is part of the readynas os system so that is why you can't stop it from the GUI, it should be running at all times other than a restart or whatever.
as far as the phpadmin, your post says you logged in with 'root\ ' is this a typo ?
you should log in with "root" minus the quotes.
I don't think this can be changed.
not sure what else to say about phpadmin I don't have any recent experience using it myself.

StephenB wierd I always thought mysql was used for the system logging database, but perhaps I was thinking of something else.
agoEfilo you should be able to ssh in to your readynas and access mysql directly with root and nopassword.
why php doesn't like not having a mysql password and how to work around it, I don't know.
as a wild arse guess, I suppose you could access mysql via ssh, create a new user with root/admin access, then pass that user/pass to php.

Thanks for the suggestion of both of you.
I just started mysql service by SSH and then I was able to login and interact with my DBs.
