The reason your intructions screenshot looks different is most likely because 4.0 ships with phpMyAdmin version 3 and your instructions are for version 2. Can't help you with Joomala because I don't use it but the steps should be the same, you just need to look for the moved labels. Creating new users has moved from the main page to the "Privileges Tab" on the top row for example. But as far as installation, something as popular as Joomala should have an installation script

I think the question is what happens to the servers when Windows shuts down. When Linux shuts down it will send every running process a kill command, I assume Windows does the same so there should be no problem of database corruption. BUT, I will be testing this in a few days and will post back with some results. I have been using XAMPP which is a little bigger then Uniform Server. so the reduced size will save download bandwidth. I'm glad to see those strange up and down (javascript) arrows removed, that gimmick made the software unusable for me before. Thanks.
