Thanks for all your help. Since the commands you provided didn't work with my dual-mysql-trying-to-get-phpmyadmin-to-work setup, I destroyed the droplet I had been working on started over (I had to start over more than once because I forgot to increment the volume_name but thanks for your note about incrementing the volume name), and now it seems to be working for me like it is for you. I'm pretty excited because it looks like the hurdles have been removed so I can play around with the steem blockchain in mysql. Note: I tried using steemsql.com a while back but I wasn't able to get that to work with php in linux. Also, with the help of simplifying some Github instructions and pasting some commands for me I was able to get a condenser working which was neat to see, but my main motivation with setting up the condenser was because thought I would enable me to have the steem blockchain in mysql, but I couldn't get mysql working with the condenser, and when I saw the size of the condenser installation I doubted if it had all the blockchain data anyway. In short, I really appreciate there work you did here.
